Biography

Frère de l'actrice Lilian Harvey (née Pape, 1906-1968) — ayant tous deux un père d'origine allemande —, Walter Harvey-Pape débute sous ce nom comme chef opérateur d'un film allemand muet sorti en 1926. Après trois autres films allemands, les deux derniers sortis en 1928, il revient dans sa ville natale de Londres et poursuit sa carrière en Angleterre.

Il contribue ainsi à plus de cent films britanniques (y compris quelques courts métrages) sortis entre 1929 et 1966, dont des productions de la Hammer.

Il collabore en particulier à plusieurs réalisations de Terence Fisher — ex. : Song for Tomorrow (1948, avec Ralph Michael et Christopher Lee), Stolen Face (1952, avec Paul Henreid et André Morell) et Meurtres sans empreintes (1954, avec Paulette Goddard et William Sylvester) — ou bien de Val Guest — ex. : La Revanche de Robin des Bois (1954, avec Don Taylor et Reginald Beckwith) et Le Monstre (1955, avec Brian Donlevy et Lionel Jeffries) —.

Citons aussi The Flying Squad d'Herbert Brenon (1940, avec Sebastian Shaw et Phyllis Brooks) et Le Saint défie Scotland Yard de Seymour Friedman (1953, avec Louis Hayward et Sydney Tafler).

Également directeur de la photographie pour la télévision britannique, il collabore à dix séries de 1958 à 1969, dont The Cheaters (intégrale en trente-neuf épisodes, 1960-1962), Le Saint (trois épisodes, 1965-1967) ou Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir (huit épisodes, dont sept en seconde équipe, 1968).
