Stanley Kubrick: 1928–1999
Stanley Kubrick worked as a photographer for Look magazine from 1945 until 1950, and made the short film Day of the Fight in 1951. His final film, Eyes Wide Shut, was released posthumously in 1999. For most of his film career, Kubrick avoided the Hollywood system by living and working in England, earning — and perhaps cultivating — a reputation as a reclusive genius. He worked in a wide range of genres, notably science-fiction (2001), black comedy (Dr. Strangelove), horror (The Shining), period drama (Barry Lyndon), and war (Paths of Glory).
In addition to the films mentioned below, Kubrick worked uncredited in an unknown capacity on the short documentary World Assembly of Youth (1953), directed by D. Corbitt Curtis and Richard Millett. He also worked as a second-unit director for Norman Lloyd’s five-part Omnibus television mini-series Mr. Lincoln (broadcast in 1952–1953). He also worked briefly on the set of Lewis Gilbert’s film The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), lighting the supertanker set under condition of anonymity. Kubrick appeared with his future wife Toba Metz as an uncredited extra in Hans Richter’s Dreams That Money Can Buy (1947); coincidentally, the film starred Ruth Sobotka, who would become Kubrick’s second wife. He worked uncredited on the English-language dubbing of the Russian film Илья Муромец (1956), released in America as The Sword and the Dragon in 1960. He is also known to have worked on the dubbing and sound editing of an exploitation film with the working title Shark Safari in 1953, and he worked briefly as an uncredited cinematographer on the spoof serial Captain Celluloid vs. the Film Pirates (Louis McMahon, 1966).
Day of the Fight (1951)
A short documentary profile of boxer Walter Cartier, who Kubrick had previously photographed for Look. Released as part of RKO’s This Is America series. An alternate version, without the four-minute prologue added by RKO, omits the This Is America title. Kubrick appears in the film himself: he can be seen loading his camera at the ringside. Black-and-white, 1.37:1 aspect ratio, with a mono soundtrack.
Flying Padre (1951)
A short documentary about Fred Stadtmuller — a priest from New Mexico who travelled around his parish by aeroplane — released as part of RKO’s Pathé Screenliner series. Black-and-white, 1.37:1 aspect ratio, with a mono soundtrack.
The Seafarers (1953)
Kubrick was commissioned by the Seafarers International Union to produce this short promotional documentary. Some versions begin with a few seconds of silent footage from the workprint. 1.37:1 aspect ratio, with a mono soundtrack.
Fear and Desire (1953)
Kubrick’s first feature film, a war movie produced independently with a skeleton cast and crew. It was originally shown at the Venice International Film Festival in 1952 under the title Shape of Fear, and Kubrick cut nine minutes of footage before its 1953 general theatrical release. Kubrick later suppressed its distribution, however there were occasional screenings of archival prints at American film festivals and a restored version was released after Kubrick’s death. Black-and-white, 1.37:1 aspect ratio, with a mono soundtrack.
Killer’s Kiss (1955)
An independent noir thriller, the film’s original title Kiss Me Kill Me was changed to Killer’s Kiss before general release, though some surviving prints bear the original title. A scene in which Jamie Smith fondles Irene Kane’s breasts, which was cut from the film at Kane’s request, may have been present in the preview version. The film was censored by the MPAA, with four minutes of footage deleted. A further three minutes were removed before its release. (The original running time was 74 minutes.) Kubrick’s voice can be heard briefly on the police radio in one sequence. Black-and-white, 1.37:1 aspect ratio, with a mono soundtrack.
The Killing (1956)Adapted from the novel Clean Break by Lionel White. Kubrick experimented with a complex, non-linear narrative, constructing a series of interconnecting flashbacks, confidently alternating between past and present. He produced this crime thriller in partnership with James B. Harris, forming Harris-Kubrick Pictures, and photographed himself and Harris for a Variety press advertisement to promote the film (published on 21st March 1956). Black-and-white, 1.37:1 aspect ratio, with a mono soundtrack.
Paths of Glory (1957)
An anti-war film starring Kirk Douglas and set in the trenches of World War I, adapted from a novel by Humphrey Cobb. The preview version was 89 minutes, though two minutes were cut by Kubrick before general release. The film was banned in France for nineteen years, though when it was initially released in other Francophone countries the French national anthem was removed from the opening titles soundtrack. Black-and-white, 1.66:1 aspect ratio, with a mono soundtrack.
Spartacus (1960)
Star and executive producer Kirk Douglas fired Anthony Mann, the original director of this ancient Roman epic, and hired Kubrick after production had already started. 70mm prints were released in 2.21:1 Super Technirama and stereo sound, with overture, intermission, entr’acte, and exit music. 35mm prints were released in 2.35:1 Technirama.
After preview screenings at 202 minutes, Kubrick cut thirteen minutes from the film and changed the placement of the intermission, resulting in a first-run version at 189 minutes. Further cuts were then made at the behest of the MPAA, with a “snails and oysters” homoerotic bathing sequence totally removed and milder alternate takes replacing some of the violent shots. The MPAA-approved, censored version was 182 minutes. In 1967, a significantly truncated version (161 minutes) was released in 35mm.
In 1991, Spartacus was rereleased in a restored version (196 minutes), with Kubrick’s approval. The soundtrack format was 5.1 surround sound, appropriate to the original six-channel version. The MPAA-censored shots were reinstated, as was much of the footage Kubrick himself had removed after the previews. As the original violent shots were restored, the milder alternate takes were removed. The “snails and oysters” sequence was reinserted, though the dialogue between Laurence Olivier and Tony Curtis had to be redubbed as the original soundtrack had been destroyed. Olivier’s lines were dubbed by Anthony Hopkins, as Olivier himself had died before the restoration. Additional footage of Charles Laughton now exists as audio only.
Lolita (1962)
An adaptation of the scandalous novel by Vladimir Nabokov. Several of Lolita’s more risqué innuendos were censored before the film’s release, and the MPAA also insisted upon the partial removal of the cot seduction sequence: in the American cinema version, the scene fades ten seconds earlier than in the British version. Kubrick himself is visible in the first shot inside Quilty’s mansion, walking out of the frame on the right hand side. He also personally took some of the publicity photographs of star Sue Lyon. The film was shot with alternating aspect ratios: some scenes are in Academy format (1.37:1), while others are matted at 1.66:1. Black-and-white, with a mono soundtrack.
Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)
A satirical black comedy adapted from the novel Two Hours to Doom (published in America as Red Alert) by Peter George (written under the pseudonym Peter Bryant). In America, the film begins with a written disclaimer emphasising that it is a work of fiction. An epilogue involving a custard pie fight, which altered the film’s tone from satire to slapstick, was removed by Kubrick before the general release. (This footage is archived at the British Film Institute in London.) Also before the premiere, the word ‘Dallas’ was redubbed by Slim Pickens to “Vegas” following the Dallas assassination of John F. Kennedy. The film was shot with alternating aspect ratios: some scenes are in Academy format (1.37:1), while others are matted at 1.66:1. Black-and-white, with a mono soundtrack. The sleeve for the Criterion Collection’s Dr. Strangelove laserdisc (1992) was designed by Kubrick.
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Kubrick’s masterpiece, a science-fiction epic adapted from Arthur C. Clarke’s short story Sentinel of Eternity (later retitled The Sentinel). 70mm prints were released in 2.21:1 Super Panavision 70 with six-track surround sound. 35mm prints had a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, with a mono soundtrack.
Kubrick is visible as a reflection in the astronauts’ helmets during some sequences, and he also provided the breathing soundtrack for Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood’s spacewalking scenes. As the film’s special effects supervisor, Kubrick won his only Academy Award. A documentary, A Look Behind the Future (1967), includes footage of Kubrick on the set.
Nineteen minutes were cut from 2001 by Kubrick after preview screenings, and two of the intertitles were also added at this time. A prologue and voiceover were cut after the exhibitors’ preview. The film’s Cinerama version, identified by the Cinerama logo in the end credits, included overture, intermission, and exit music. There was also a non-Cinerama version, in 35mm, with four-track surround sound.
A Clockwork Orange (1971)
A controversial and violent dystopian satire adapted from a novel by Anthony Burgess. The film was originally rated ‘X’, without cuts, by the MPAA. The following year, Kubrick withdrew the film from US cinemas and modified two sequences with milder alternate takes to obtain an ‘R’ rating. In Britain, the film was shown uncut, though in 1974 Kubrick withdrew it from UK distribution after he received death threats. (It was rereleased in Britain in 2000, and has been available there ever since.) 1.66:1 aspect ratio, with a mono soundtrack.
Barry Lyndon (1975)
A period drama adapted from William Makepeace Thackeray’s novel The Luck of Barry Lyndon. The film was intended to be projected at 1.66:1, as stipulated in an open letter from Kubrick sent to cinema projectionists. Mono soundtrack.
The Shining (1980)
A psychological horror film starring Jack Nicholson, adapted from a novel by Stephen King. The voice of Charley, the radio weather announcer, was played by Kubrick himself; Kubrick’s reflection is visible in an office window in the opening scene; and (like Alfred Hitchcock in Psycho) Kubrick wielded the knife himself when it was used to slash Jack Nicholson’s hand. His daughter, Vivian, directed a behind-the-scenes documentary titled Making the Shining for the television series Arena, broadcast in 1980.
After the film’s premiere (running 146 minutes), Kubrick cut a short scene outside Durkin’s shop and an explanatory epilogue with Shelley Duvall in hospital before the US general release. Kubrick then cut the film a second time (to 119 minutes), before its European general release. The end credits, originally blue, are white on most video releases. 1.85:1 aspect ratio, with a mono soundtrack. Full Metal Jacket (1987)
A Vietnam war film adapted from Gustav Hasford’s novel The Short-Timers. Kubrick played the part of Murphy, the radio announcer. 1.85:1 aspect ratio, with a mono soundtrack.
Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
An erotic thriller starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, adapted from the Arthur Schnitzler novella Rhapsody (Traumnovelle), also published as Dream Story. Kubrick died four months before the film was released, and some elements of the postproduction were completed by Warner Bros. after his death. This included the replacement of several second-unit exterior establishing shots, the addition of a musical score to some scenes, and additional dialogue recording (notably, the looping of Abigail Good’s lines by Cate Blanchett). These changes are apparent from a side-by-side comparison between a rough cut and the final theatrical cut.
The scene in which Cruise and Kidman kiss in front of a mirror was released in isolation as a teaser trailer at the ShoWest trade fair before the film’s general release. The same scene, as it appears in the film itself, is shorter, is cropped on all four sides, and utilises an alternate take for the moment when Kidman removes her glasses.
In America, cloaked figures were digitally inserted to mask the simulated sex in the film’s orgy sequence, in order to secure an ‘R’ rating from the MPAA. The digital figures were not present when the film was screened in the UK. However, for the UK release the orgy scene was censored in a different way: a recital from the Bhagavad Gita during the Meditations music in the orgy scene was removed and replaced. A split-second reflection of a crew member in one scene was digitally removed shortly after the film’s theatrical release. 1.85:1 aspect ratio, with a mono soundtrack.
Kubrick on Kubrick: Interviews
Kubrick avoided public appearances, television interviews, and photographers, though he spoke to journalists with surprising frequency, as this first comprehensive list of Kubrick’s interviews demonstrates. Entries are listed according to the date of their first publication. (Kubrick: The Last Interview, by Adrian Rigelsford and Kim Meffen, published in TV Times on 4th September 1999, is not included, as it was a hoax published by the magazine in error.) The interviews list has been revised and expanded in collaboration with Filippo Ulivieri.

The Kubrick Estate
Following his death in 1999, Kubrick’s family permitted Jon Ronson, Bernd Eichhorn, and Alison Castle to visit Childwickbury Manor (his home near St Albans) and catalogue his archives. Ronson made a documentary for More4 (Stanley Kubrick’s Boxes, 15th July 2008). The props and documents Bernd Eichhorn discovered were shown as part of an extensive Stanley Kubrick touring exhibition beginning in 2004, and an exhibition catalogue (Kinematograph XX: Stanley Kubrick, 2004) and documentary (Stanley Kubrick: The Exhibition by Katia de Vidas, 2005) were also released. Alison Castle edited two enormous Kubrick books — The Stanley Kubrick Archives (2005) and Stanley Kubrick’s Napoleon: The Greatest Movie Never Made (2009) — and Lee Unkrich and J.W. Rinzler wrote the equally lavish Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining (2023).
Jan Harlan, Kubrick’s brother-in-law, directed A Life in Pictures (2001), a feature-length documentary with extensive and rare footage of Kubrick; he also co-edited a book about AI with Jane M. Struthers: Artificial Intelligence — From Stanley Kubrick to Steven Spielberg: The Vision Behind the Film (2009). Christiane Kubrick, the director’s widow, wrote A Life in Pictures (2002), featuring a large selection of Kubrick photographs. In 2007, Kubrick’s archives were transferred from Childwickbury to the University of the Arts in London. In 2014, two books were produced in cooperation with the Archives: The Making of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (four volumes, by Piers Bizony) and Stanley Kubrick: New Perspectives (edited by Tatjana Ljujic, Peter Kramer, and Richard Daniels).
Kubrick’s Look Photographs: 1945–1950
At high school (from 1942 to 1946), Kubrick took pictures for the school magazine (Portfolio) and yearbooks. He also sold images to Look magazine, and worked as a photojournalist for the publication until 1950. One of his Look photographs, a portrait of Montgomery Clift, was also published in Flair magazine (vol. 1, no. 8, September 1950); another, taken in the Copacabana nightclub, was published in Quick magazine (Are Nightclubs Old-Fashioned?, 26th November 1951). After leaving Look to become a director, Kubrick had no further photographs published, with two exceptions: a colour self-portrait for the cover of Newsweek (vol. 79, no. 1; 3rd January 1972), and a 1953 portrait of Herman G. Weinberg that was used as the cover photo for Weinberg’s memoir Coffee, Brandy and Cigars: A Kaleidoscope of the Arts — and That Strange Thing Called Life (1982).
Kubrick’s photographs were included alongside other Look images in the exhibitions Look at America (1957) and Only in New York: Photographs from Look Magazine (Donald Albrecht and Thomas Mellins, 2009), and the books Our Land, Our People (Edward A. Hamilton and Charles Preston, 1958), School Photojournalism: Telling Your School Story in Pictures (Edward A. Hamilton, 1958), and The Look Book (Leo Calvin Rosten, 1975). Look reprinted two of Kubrick’s photographs after he left the magazine: a portrait of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein (12th July 1955), and a photo of cannabis (Dope Is Threatening Our Youth, 13th March 1951). The Look photographic archives are currently held at the Library of Congress in Washington and the Museum of the City of New York.
An exhibition of Kubrick’s photographs curated by Michel Draguet, Stanley Kubrick: Photographer, opened in 2012, and its catalogue was published as Stanley Kubrick: Fotografo. Donald Albrecht and Sean Corcoran curated the exhibition Through a Different Lens: Stanley Kubrick Photographs in 2018, which was accompanied by an extensive catalogue. Rainer Crone curated three exhibitions of Kubrick’s photographs, all with accompanying catalogues: Stanley Kubrick: Still Moving Pictures — Fotografien 1945–1950 (with Petrus Graf Schaesberg, 1999), Stanley Kubrick: Fotografie 1945–1950 (2010), and Stanley Kubrick: Visioni e finzioni 1945–1950 (2011). Selections of Kubrick’s Look photographs have been published in three further books: Stanley Kubrick: Ladro di sguardi — Fotografie di fotografie 1945–1950 (1994), Art by Film Directors (Karl French, 1994), and Stanley Kubrick: Drama and Shadows — Photographs 1945–1950 (Rainer Crone, 2005).
A copy of this first comprehensive list of Kubrick’s photographs is included in the Stanley Kubrick Archive at the University of the Arts, London, and it was reprinted in Stanley Kubrick: Fotografie 1945–1950 — Un narratore della condizione (Rainer Crone, 2010). Unless stated otherwise, all images were photographed in New York and published in black-and-white. Entries are listed according to the date of their first publication.
