Biography

A graduate of the New York Institute of Photography, Arthur E. Arling was 21 when he signed on as an assistant cameraman at Fox Studios. Within five years, Arling was promoted to second cameraman, though he would not graduate to full cinematographer until after his World War II service. Among Arling's pre-war collaborative efforts was Gone With the Wind (1939); his most immediate postwar project was The Yearling, which won a joint Oscar for Arling, Charles Rosher and Leonard Smith. On his own, Arling earned an Oscar nomination for the black-and-white 1955 biopic I'll Cry Tomorrow. We can't say for certain, but it's possible that Arling was principal architect for the "gauze period" in the career of Doris Day; having previously worked with the actress in Love Me or Leave Me (1955), he managed to make her seem younger than ever in the subsequent Doris Day-Rock Hudson frivolities Pillow Talk (1959) and Love Come Back (1962). Arthur E. Arling retired in 1966, after wrapping up work on director John Derek's Once Before I Die. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
