Started cutting films at RKO in 1936 with "Follow the Fleet" and "Swing Time," for his brother Pandro. He eventually left RKO, following his brother Pandro to MGM. In his long career, despite work on some classic films, he only received one Academy Award nomination, for Best Film Editing 1966, for his innovative work on John Frankenheimer's "Grand Prix" (shared with Fredric Steinkamp, Stewart Linder & Frank Santillo). He (and they) won. After cutting "Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon" for Otto Preminger in 1970, he moved into television movies and series until his retirement in 1977. He was nominated for an Emmy for "Babe" (1975).

Reviewers score the pacing 45/100 in their films, across 29 reviewed titles; fans 53, detractors 29. The element that speaks to their work as an editor.
Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
