Iain Fisher:
Billy Williams was cinematographer on Russell's Billion Dollar Brain in 1967 through to Women in Love, The Rainbow and Dusk Before Fireworks in 1990, being nominated for an Oscar for Women in Love.  His 46 film credits also include Sunday Bloody Sunday and Gandhi as well as the opening (Iraq) sequence of The Exorcist.  Williams said  he moved from documentaries to commercials, working with Russell, to films.
