Denis John “Jack” Hildyard[1] BSC (17 March 1908, London – 5 September 1990, London) was a British cinematographer who worked on more than 80 films during his career.[2]

His first film was Freedom of the Seas in 1934, as a focus puller, before working as camera operator on films for Leslie Howard and others, including Pygmalion, The Divorce of Lady X and Pimpernel Smith. His first film as cinematographer was Laurence Olivier's 1944 film Henry V, which gave him invaluable experience of colour cinematography and his subsequent films made him one of the most sought after cameramen in England.

Awards

He was also nominated for BAFTA Awards for his work on The V.I.P.s (1963), The Yellow Rolls-Royce (1964) and Modesty Blaise (1966).[6][7][8]

He was awarded the British Society of Cinematographers Lifetime Achievement Award in 1990.[9]
