Arthur P. Schmidt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur P. Schmidt, born 1912, began his career as an editor in 1934 on the film Anne of Green Gables and continued all the way up to his sudden death in 1965. During that time he worked on several of the Bulldog Drummond B-movies, as well as "The Blue Dahlia" (1946), "When Worlds Collide" (1951) and "The Old Man and the Sea" (1958).
He was a particular favourite of Billy Wilder's and edited "Sunset Boulevard" (1950, for which he received an Academy Award nomination), "Ace in the Hole" (1951), "Sabrina" (1954), "The Spirit of St. Louis" (1957) and "Some Like It Hot" (1959) for the director. He received a second Oscar nomination in 1957 for his work on "Sayonara".
The latter part of his career was largely spent working on Jerry Lewis films, either as an editor ("Cinderfella" in 1960) or as an associate producer ("The Nutty Professor" in 1963). His son Arthur Schmidt is a notable editor by himself and had won two Academy Awards so far for Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Forrest Gump.
