Biography

Cinematographer and special effects technician Jack Whitehead worked closely with Alfred Hitchcock during the '30s. Though he has been involved with many distinguished films, his achievements (i.e., the bus explosion in Hitchcock's Sabotage) have frequently gone uncredited. Whitehead occasionally worked as a second unit director. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
