Profession Cinematographer
Charles Bryant Lang, Jr., A.S.C. was an American cinematographer. Early in his career, he worked with the Akeley camera, a gyroscope-mounted "pancake" camera designed by Carl Akeley for outdoor action shots. Lang's first credits were as co-cinematographer on the silent films The Night Patrol and The Loves of Ricardo. After completing Tom Sawyer for Paramount Pictures in 1930, he continued working at the studio for more than twenty years. The style of lighting he introduced in A Farewell to Arms became heavily identified with all of Paramount's films during the 1930s and 1940s, though he occasionally worked for other studios, for instance on The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. In 1951, he began the second phase of his career, this time as a free-lance cinematographer. His credits include The Big Heat with Lee Marvin, Sabrina with Humphrey Bogart and William Holden, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas, The Matchmaker, Some Like It Hot with Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemmon, The Magnificent Seven with Steve McQueen, One-Eyed Jacks with Marlon Brando, How the West Was Won in Cinerama, Charade with Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, and Butterflies Are Free.
