Peter Hyams
Writing
Trivia Writer-director Peter Hyams handled the cinematography for most of this movie,while Stephen Goldblatt usually worked when there was something Hyams did not know how to do. Goldblatt was misleadingly hired by Hyams,who really wanted him to stand aside and do nothing,and to use him as a scapegoat for the Ladd Company in case anything went wrong while using the new IntroVision process. He was furious at being lied to and wouldn't have taken the job if he'd known Hyams' intentions at the outset,but stayed on in order to learn how to use IntroVision,and because as a young cinematographer with a sole prior feature credit,quitting the movie could have ruined his career. It is the only one of his movies whose wrap party he skipped.
