"To Kill a Mockingbird"
The movie had to strip away the asides (and some of the subtleties) but it kept mood better. I have always considered it one of (if not the) greatest products of the studios, last gasp for them though it might have been. And the black and white was perfect!
It was also the last of James Wong How's films. And what a loss that was!

The cinematographer for "...Mockingbird" was Russell Harlan. James Wong Howe died in 1976, 14 years after "...Mockingbird".

  The elder statesman was "retired". But he was there virtually daily and was very, very influential (actually . . . he "did it" according to the cast . . . all one has to do is look!). To my knowledge he did nothing after for which he got credit, but there may be something similar (i.e. "uncredited")
  In that matter I defer to you.

    I think his work on "Chinatown" (1974)is Howe's masterpiece.
