Abstract

pires and L'Émigré, accomplish two feats of film history by chronicling the British film industry through the prism of editing and editors, and by creating a comprehensive text on the role and purpose of editing and editors in the worldwide process of making motion pictures. Twenty-two interviews with film editors of diverse backgrounds and cinema styles were conducted for this project. They include John Bloom (Georgy Girl, Gandhi, Black Widow), Jim Clark (Darling, The Day of the Locust, The Killing Fields), Anne V. Coates (Lawrence of Arabia, The Elephant Man, Out of Sight), Antony Gibbs (The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Tom Jones, Walkabout), Tony Lawson (Barry Lyndon, Two Deaths, The Butcher Boy), Tom Priestly (Morgan: A Suitable Case for Treatment, Marat/ Sade, Deliverance), Terry Rawlings (Alien, Chariots of Fire, White of the Eye), and Lesley Walker (The Tempest, Mona Lisa, The Fisher King). But this is not an interview-format book. An intelligent, evenhanded, and perceptive narrative is applied to enlighten the reader on this important subject. At judicious moments, Perkins and Stollery allow the film editors to speak so they can amplify a point, submit an insightful anecdote, or provide an example to support and clarify
