You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Elwood Bailey Bredell''' (24 December 1902 – 26 February 1969) was an American [[cinematographer]] and child silent screen actor.<ref name=Palumbo>((Cite book |last=Palumbo |first=Ron |date=2018 |title=Hold That Ghost: Including the Original Shooting Script |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1033802106 |access-date=2022-11-17 |publisher=BearManor Media |oclc=1033802106))</ref> He is sometimes credited as '''Woody Bredell''' or '''Elwood Dell'''. Although he worked in many genres, mostly at [[Universal Pictures|Universal]], Bredell is best known for his [[film noir]] cinematography on such movies as ''[[Phantom Lady (film)|Phantom Lady]]'' (1944), ''[[Lady on a Train]]'' (1945) ''[[The Killers (1946 film)|The Killers]]'' (1946), and ''[[The Unsuspected]]'' (1947). [[Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros]]. editor [[George Amy]] said Bredell could "light a football stadium with a single match".<ref>Flynn, Charles and Todd McCarthy. ''Kings of the Bs: Working Within the Hollywood System: an Anthology of Film History and Criticism''. E.P. Dutton, 1975.</ref>

==Early life==
Bredell was born Jesse B. Bredell, Jr., after his father, who was married to stage actress Mary Palmer Nields. She later married Vaughn "Val" Paul, a silent film actor turned production manager. (Paul's son with Nields, Vaughn Jr., was [[Deanna Durbin]]'s first husband.)<ref name=Palumbo />

==Career==
After working as an adolescent actor in silent films, Bredell took a job as a studio lab technician while he cultivated a talent for photography. From about 1929 to 1934, Bredell worked as a still photographer at [[RKO Pictures|RKO]] and [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]], coinciding with his stepfather's tenures at those studios.<ref name=Palumbo /> At Paramount, Bredell apprenticed under veteran cinematographers [[Charles Lang]] and [[Arthur Miller (cinematographer)|Arthur C. Miller]].<ref name=Palumbo /> In 1936, Paul brought Bredell to Universal, where he continued his training under the studio's best cinematographer, [[Joseph Valentine]]. Bredell was promoted to cinematographer the next year, when Paul produced ''[[Reckless Living (1938 film)|Reckless Living]]'' (1938).<ref name=Palumbo />

Bredell's work on horror films such as ''[[Black Friday (1940 film)|Black Friday]]'' (1940), ''[[The Mummy's Hand]]'' (1940), and ''[[The Ghost of Frankenstein|Ghost of Frankenstein]]'' (1942), anticipated his film noir cinematography. He also photographed Deann Durbin musicals and comedies such as ''[[Hold That Ghost]]'' (1941), ''[[Hellzapoppin' (film)|Hellzapoppin']]'' (1941) and ''[[The Inspector General (1949 film)|The Inspector General]]'' (1949). His final credit was on  the 1955 B-movie ''[[Female Jungle]]''.
