Arthur Crabtree

Arthur Crabtree

Arthur Crabtree (b. October 29, 1900 in Shipley, West Yorkshire, England, d. March, 1975 in Worthing, Sussex, England) was a British cinematographer and film director.

Cinematography

His film career began in cinematography, with such credits as the Will Hay comedies "Oh, Mr. Porter!" and "Good Morning, Boys" (both 1937) and "Hey! Hey! USA!" (1938), the Arthur Askey vehicle "Charley's (Big-Hearted) Aunt" (1940), and "The Man in Grey" (1943) and "Fanny by Gaslight" (1944) for Gainsborough Pictures.

Directing

Crabtree continued his association with Gainsborough as he started his directorial career, beginning with the melodramatic fantasies "Madonna of the Seven Moons", starring Phyllis Calvert and Stewart Granger in 1945 and "Caravan" in 1946. His last two films were "Fiend Without a Face" (1958) and "Horrors of the Black Museum" (1959), a sci-fi and horror, respectively, both of which have become cult favourites, although the former enjoys a better critical reputation.
