He also played a key role in 1935’s Bride of Frankenstein and 1941’s The Wolf Man.
Later in his career, John P Fulton worked extensively with Alfred Hitchcock, working on movies including Rear Window (1954) and Vertigo (1958). Nominated for four Academy Awards in total, he also went on to win three, the final of which was for his depiction of Moses’ parting of the Red Sea in The Ten Commandments (1956).
John P Fulton died on the 5th of July, 1966 in London, having contracted a rare infection while working in Spain. His name may not be well known, but his cinematic legacy is immense.
