Perhaps the unsung hero of the Indiana Jones saga is cinematographer Douglas Slocombe. Londoner Slocombe, whose pre Raiders credits include the best of Ealing Comedies and The Italian Job, gives Raiders and Last Crusade a lavish high end Technicolor feel. Yet his real achievement is Temple Of Doom. Starting with the bright gaudy sheen of Old Hollywood – the opening musical number, the banquet, the love tease between Indy and Willie – Slocombe takes the lighting schema denser and darker, creating a stunning interplay of torchlight, shadow and lava light that goes against the grain of the typical brightly lit Hollywood blockbuster – Indy writhing under the blood of the kali lit only by candlelight is about as far away from Jerry Bruckheimer as you can get.
