Russell Lloyd(1916-2008)

British editor, noted for his collaboration with director John Huston on eleven films. He began his career as a projectionist in Swansea, then joined the Korda Organisation as a "numbering boy", synchronising film rushes for the chief editor Harold Young.

The director of one film I know about shot almost a million feet of negative and printed nearly everything. A two-hour film is 10,800 feet long, so you can appreciate the wastage.
