Ernest Steward
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ernest Steward (8 January 1914 – 1990) was a British cinematographer.
As with most cinematographers of his era, he began as a camera operator; his early credits in this field included Great Expectations (1946) and London Belongs to Me (1948).
As Director of Photography, he filmed mostly light-hearted comedies. He made several for producer Betty Box, including the Doctor films, based on the books by Richard Gordon, A Tale of Two Cities (1958) and The 39 Steps (1959). He was cinematographer for the Carry On comedy series, beginning with Carry On Sergeant in 1958, and eventually alternating with Alan Hume as regular DoP.
