Barnes & Noble.com - Biography - Ernest Haller (184 words)
Native Californian Ernest Haller came to the old Biograph Studios as an actor in 1914 -- just in time for the death of Biograph after the studio let D.W. Griffith slip through its fingers.
By 1920, he was a full director of photography, spending the rest of the twenties manning the camera for such films as Stella Dallas (1925), The Dancer of Paris (1926), and the early Frank Capra feature For the Love of Mike (1927).
Haller continued in his craft, contributing excellent camerawork to such A-pictures as Mildred Pierce (1945) and Humoresque (1946), until retiring after 1964's Dead Ringer, a minor melodrama distinguished by first-rate split screen photography.
