From Show magazine, July 9, 1970, p. 12 ("Showing Up" section), A short piece about Gordon Willis:

"Cinematographer Gordon Willis has become recognized as one of the great talents working in films today. So far this year he has in release End of the Road, Loving, and The Landlord. With stark simplicity, he has found out how things really look, distilling appearances and discovering a reality that transcends most of what has been seen on the screen up until now. With the most accurate, artistically devised lighting, he has developed a style that is clearly his own, but that is also perfectly right for the style of the film. He starts filming Alan J. Pakula's Klute next month in New York, where he has a knack of fining more poetry in litter than most cinematographers can find in a rose garden."
