It is with great sadness that we hear of the death of Alan Hume, one of the true gentlemen of the British film industry.The most skilled of cinematographers, Alan worked on everything from the James Bond series to the Hammer horrors. A veteran of true class, with work alongside Alexander Korda and David Lean under his belt, he forged a fruitful relationship with director Gerald Thomas. Alan was camera operator on the very first Carry On, Carry On Sergeant, and subsequently became a regular director of photography throughout the sixties and seventies. He lit the very last, Carry On Columbus, in 1992. Robert spent many happy hours in his company and recorded the 2003 DVD audio commentary for Carry On Henry with him at Pinewood Studios. Robert’s proudest television appearance is on the 1998 documentary ‘What’s A Carry On?’. For one interview session Robert was lit by the guv’nor himself. As Babara Windsor said at the time: “We all loved Alan. Not only was he gorgeous, he made us look fantastic on camera!” Rest in Peace.
