- Summary
- ""Fate has thrown me some interesting curves," says Elmo Williams, the farm boy turned film editor, director and producer. As a child, he traveled with his family in a covered wagon to a new life in a New Mexico homestead. In 1932, the teenaged Williams went to work as a gopher for film editor Merrill White. Within three years he was a partner in an editing company with White in London. In subsequent years his career bloomed to include producing, editing and directing. In 1954 he won an Academy Award for film editing for High Noon. Subsequent hits included The Poseidon Adventure and the long-running television series Hee Haw." "This memoir traces Williams's life from his early childhood to his views on life at age 93. It is a story of hard work rewarded with a satisfying life, and of one man's efforts to communicate with others in the universal language of film - and of laughter."--BOOK JACKET.
