Milton R. Krasner
(1904 - 1988)
Biography from Baseline's Encyclopedia of Film

Born in New York City. Began his film career at age 15 and graduated to director of photography in 1933. Although he had shot nearly 90 films before the end of WW II, it was in the postwar period that Krasner distinguished himself. He is best remembered for his neorealist-influenced, black-and-white work in the late 1940s and his glossy CinemaScope compositions -- particularly his collaborations with Vincente Minnelli -- in the mid-1950s.
