Edward Dmytryk

The films dramatic requirements should always take precedence over the mere aesthetics of editing.
Edward Dmytryk
Image
The 'human situation,' in all its guises, is what good films are all about, and technical skill counts for nothing if it is used only to manufacture films which have little to do with humanity.
Edward Dmytryk
Image
