His last film was Joseph L. Mankiewicz's The Honey Pot.
His work with Michelangelo Antonioni, Francesco Rosi and Federico Fellini made him one of the leading European masters of the camera of the middle part of the century.
His career was cut short when he died in Rome of viral hepatitis at the age of 45.
