During the 1930s Toland was one of the most sought after cinematographers in Hollywood . Over a seven year span (1936-1942) he was nominated six times for the "Best Cinematography" Oscar , including a win in 1940 for his work on '' Wuthering Heights ''. He worked with many of the top directors of the 20s, 30s, and 40s including John Ford , Howard Hawks , Erich Von Stroheim , King Vidor , Orson Welles , and William Wyler . In the closing credits for ''Citizen Kane'' Toland shared the final card with Welles, an unheard of honor for a cinematographer. Some film historians believe '' Citizen Kane's '' visual brilliance was due primarily to the contributions of Toland, and not director Orson Welles. Welles' scholars maintain that the visual style of ''Kane'' is similar to many of Welles' other films and hence should be considered "his" work. SELECTED FILMOGRAPHY
