Boris Levin: the production designer who stole the sets from [La] Traviata, which we also couldn't remember, and put them behind The Band in The Last Waltz, and then died. And, Marty [Martin Scorsese] almost... it wasn't a matter of pride, but it was certainly was a weird thing that somebody died on every movie. Boris Levin died on The Last Waltz. What's his name, who composed all the music for Hitchcock... died just as he finished; supposedly almost, like, wrote the last note of the score of Taxi Driver and keeled over and died. And I forget who died... Somebody died from... from Raging Bull, and I forget who or what, but... but there was a kind of fatality to all of them, curiously enough.
Michael Chapman (1935-2020), an American cinematographer, had a huge influence on contemporary film-making, working on an impressive array of classic films including 'Taxi Driver', 'Raging Bull', 'The Lost Boys' and 'The Fugitive'.
