While better known for his work on major blockbusters like "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", "Deliverance", and "The Deer Hunter", he used to be the director of cinematography for this forum's much-loved director/writer/actor Al Adamson.

You will be missed, good sir, but your legacy shall live on.

Sad---he was still working. I'll remember him for THE SADIST.

He did a fantastic job with very little on that one!

That is still a great and under-appreciated piece of work all the way around. Plus, it was Arch Hall, Jr's best movie.

RIP, Vilmos: thank you for filming this in my country:



His photography, the production design / art direction and the music were the only three truly great things about the disaster that was (and is) Heaven's Gate.

He worked for Al Adamson and Ray Dennis Stecler too.
Thats why SATAN'S SADISTS look so good.
