George White (film editor)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George White (1911 - 1998) first became a Hollywood editor in 1942, spending most of his career at MGM. Among his more celebrated efforts were the war film Bataan (1943), Vincente Minnelli’s The Clock (1945), Tay Garnett’s steamy version of The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946), the epic special effects extravaganza Green Dolphin Street in 1947, for which he received his sole Academy Award nomination, and Challenge to Lassie in 1949. The 1950s saw him working on such films as The Naked Spur (1953), generally considered to be one of Anthony Mann’s finest Westerns, and the Biblical epic The Silver Chalice (1954), which helped launch the career of Paul Newman. White’s stock, however, waned considerably in the 1960s and he spent most of the decade working on potboilers. He retired in 1966.
