Wagner
35mm nine-hour mini-series starring Richard Burton, 1982. I worked only a few days on this production, mainly photographing the scenes in Vienna when the three actor knights Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson appeared together on a film set for the first and only time. Director of photography: Vittorio Storaro.
