Description Extended Information
 
An editor’s sense of pace, shot flow, and story helps create classic movies that are entertaining, innovative, and when the magic is just right, unforgettable.

Eclectic and unpredictable films such as The Graduate, Cool Hand Luke, Catch-22, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? helped usher in what many historians and film buffs call, The Golden Age of Cinema. As diverse as these films were, they had one thing in common. They were all edited by one man, Sam O’Steen.

Sam O’Steen was a legendary film editor with impeccable taste and elegance who helped sculpt and shape some of the most influential movies in the history of cinema.

This groundbreaking book takes the reader behind the closed doors of the editing room where Sam O’Steen along with Hollywood’s greatest directors controlled the fate of many legendary films.

The book shares his editing tales spiced with juicy anecdotes about exotic locations, colorful producers, dynamic directors and Hollywood’s biggest stars such as Jack Nicholson, Paul Newman and Liz Taylor. As told to Bobbie O’Steen (Sam’s wife and assistant editor), who works in New York as a successful writer and editor.
