Streisand’s ‘Prince’
As director of photography for “The Prince of Tides,” I cannot let an impression left by Film Clips (June 16) go uncorrected. Your item reports that “the movie has what’s described as numerous glamour shots of (Barbra) Streisand’s body parts filmed through what looks like a Vaseline-coated lens.”
Your spies must be myopic, because there are no such shots in the movie and we never had to use a “Vaselined” lens to photograph Streisand. She is fortunate enough not to need that kind of help.
