Milton R. Krasner

[Kevin Jack Hagopian] 'Krasner was chosen to photograph All About Eve, an extremely theatrical and carefully blocked story of shifting allegiances and loyalties in the world of theater. Krasner literalized this motif through his use of exclusionary framing, staging with the frame, and subtle manipulation of the film's basic shot scale, the medium shot. Krasner's camera gently narrates All About Eve, operating in parallel but muted fashion to Mankiewicz's shrill, talky screenplay.'
