THE THIRD MAN has an interesting connection with Perth, Western Australia. Its cinematographer,Robert Krasker, was born in Alexandria, Egypt, in 1913 but at the time his parents were in the process of migrating to Perth where his birth was actually registered. He left Perth to travel to England in 1937 via photographic studios in Paris and Dresden. In England, he found work at Alexander Korda’s London Films, where he became a senior camera operator. Krasker’s work was strongly influenced by film noir and German Expressionism. He received an Academy Award for his work on The Third Man (1949), directed by Carol Reed, having previously worked with Reed on Odd Man Out (1947). He also worked on Brief Encounter for David Lean and Another Man’s Poison for Irving Rapper.
Krasker was the first Australian cinematographer to win an Oscar; the second would not win until 1990.
