More quotes by Edward Dmytryk
The films dramatic requirements should always take precedence over the mere aesthetics of editing.
Edward Dmytryk
In art, the obvious is a sin.
Edward Dmytryk
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
I believed that I was being forced to sacrifice my family and my career in defense of the Communist Party, from which I had long been separated and which I had grown to dislike and distrust.
Edward Dmytryk
