Bad-v/eather scenes in “On the Waterfront" are authentic! Location shooting on Type 926 Director Elia Kazan and Director of Photogra “Superior" 2 during night snowstorms was tough on cameramen — great for atmosphere. phy Boris Kaufman work under cover of a dock on the Hoboken, N. J., waterfront. Realism stars in "ON THE WATERFRONT" Du Pont “Superior” 2 captures low lighting, rough weather in dockside dram Midwinter location shooting could have made Columbia’s picture “On the Waterfront” (produced by Sam Spiegel) a cameraman’s nightmare. But Boris Kaufman, the film’s Director of Photog¬ raphy, decided to take advantage of this wintry atmosphere in por¬ traying the waterfront’s docks and slums. Mr. Kaufman chose Du Pont Type 926 “Superior” 2 mo¬ tion-picture film to shoot under these dramatic but difficult condi¬ tions. Here’s what Mr. Kaufman says about Du Pont “Superior” 2 : “Maintainingconsistency through¬ out sequences with changing weather conditions was one of my toughest problems. To capture the mood in sun, snow, rain, fog and at night, I had to rely on my own judgment for exposures and bal¬ ance. The response of Du Pont Type 926 ‘Superior’ 2 gave me exactly what I wanted.” That’s real praise from an ex¬ pert! And you’ll agree with Mr. Kaufman when you see the results that you get on “Superior” 2. Use it on your next assignment — it’s a film to match the finest camera technique. E.
