DVD: Cameraman: The Life and Work of Jack Cardiff (PG)

"She's dead, she's dead, he's dead... I'm just alive," jokes Jack Cardiff at the start of this affectionate homage, featuring Martin Scorsese, Lauren Bacall and Kirk Douglas, to this fiercely talented and inventive cinematographer.

Cardiff, who died last year, aged 94, worked on A Matter of Life and Death, The Red Shoes and The Vikings, and apart from the lovely clips, the joys here are in the anecdotes: director Henry Hathaway's bullying, Errol Flynn's voracious drinking, Bogie and Huston not being sick, like the rest of the crew on The African Queen, because they didn't drink the water. They stuck to the whisky.
