Karel Reisz(1926-2002)

He wrote his famous book, "The Technique of Film Editing", before becoming involved in professional filmmaking. It was reviewed - not entirely favorably - in the magazine "Sight And Sound" by an actual film editor, Seth Holt. When Reisz made his first feature film, Todo comienza el sabado (1960), he hired Holt as his editor and, after their first day of working together, told him, "I didn't know what I was talking about, did I ?".

[on being asked how he managed to get the script to Morgan, un caso clínico (1966) green-lighted for production] Well, I was the head of the distribution company, so it really wasn't that difficult.
