Biography

Au cinéma, Paul Vogel débute comme directeur de la photographie sur deux films muets en 1927, avant d'officier régulièrement à ce poste de 1937 à 1967, notamment sur de nombreux courts métrages jusqu'à la fin des années 1940. Il est lui-même le réalisateur (unique expérience à ce titre) d'un court métrage documentaire en 1941.

Il collabore notamment avec les réalisateurs Burt Kennedy (ex. : le western Le Retour des sept en 1966, avec Yul Brynner), George Sidney (ex. : La Chérie de Jupiter en 1955, avec Esther Williams, George Sanders, Howard Keel), Richard Thorpe (ex. : La Fille qui avait tout en 1953, avec Elizabeth Taylor, Fernando Lamas), ou encore Charles Walters (ex. : Haute Société en 1956, avec Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra), entre autres.

En 1950, il gagne l'Oscar de la meilleure photographie pour le film de guerre Bastogne (1949) de William A. Wellman — il aura une autre nomination pour Les Amours enchantées (1962) —.

À la télévision, Paul Vogel est chef opérateur sur quelques épisodes de séries, entre 1960 et 1966.

Fifty gunmen force all of the men in a small Mexican village to ride off with them into the desert. Among the captured farmers is Chico, who years before was one of seven hired gunslingers responsible for ridding the village of a tyrannical bandit, Calvera. Chico's wife, Petra, seeks out the other members of the band of whom only two, Chris and Vin, survive. She begs them to save the village once more. To replace the deceased members of the group, Chris buys the release of Frank (a taciturn gunman) and Luis (a famous bandit), held in the local jail and recruits Colbee, a ladies' man and deadly gunman, and Manuel, a young cockfighter.

The story focuses on the Grimm brothers, Wilhelm (Laurence Harvey) and Jacob (Karlheinz Böhm), and is biographical and fantastical at the same time. They are working to finish a history for a local Duke (Oscar Homolka), though Wilhelm is more interested in collecting fairy tales and often spends their money to hear them from locals. Tales such as "The Dancing Princess" and "The Cobbler and the Elves" are integrated into the main plot. One of the tales is told as an experiment to three children in a book store to see if publishing a collection of fairytales has any merit. Another tale, "The Singing Bone", is told by an old woman (Martita Hunt) in the forest who tells stories to children, while the uninvited Wilhelm secretly listens through an open window. The culmination of this tale involves a jeweled dragon and features the most involved usage of the film's special effects.
