Personal Quote:

Common sense tells them that [film editing is] the final polish given to a two-, three- or four-million-dollar production, and that it must be important, but they do not know or realize how important. They are not aware, most of them, after many years in pictures, of the diversified background which the successful film editor must have. See more »
