Disney fair use screen capture.
We're watching the PBS biographical-series on Walt Disney currently being broadcast in the U.S. because, you must remember, as a visual artist Fantasia was my Chuck Berry. I would not have gotten the above vintage shot of Ron Young in Little Caesar (LINK) without my recollection of the lighting in the "Night on Bald Mountain" sequence in that film. No one else there captured it.
Trivia/irony: Besides with Little Caesar, Ron currently sings with an all-soul/funk/Motown side project called The Blue-Eyed Devils. He still looks great in dramatic lighting two and a half decades later.
Trivia: my late father sang in the chorale featured at the end of this sequence.
