Tony Gaudio, A.S.C. (Gaetano Antonio Gaudio) (20 November 1883 – 10 August 1951) was the chief photographer for Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks Sr, and the first cinematographer to create a montage sequence for a film.
Born in Rome, Italy of a family of photographic experts, Gaudio's career started in his early 20s when he went to New York City to head Vitagraph's film laboratory. In the late 1920s, Vitagraph was taken over by Warner Bros., and Gaudio became one of the studio's best cinematographers. Particularly notable was his work in the 30s: Hell's Angels (1930), Little Caesar (1931), Ex-Lady (1933), Fog Over Frisco (1934), Front Page Woman (1935), The Story of Louis Pasteur (1936), and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) starring Errol Flynn. Gaudio was among the founders of the American Society of Cinematographers.
