An engaging autobiography of Elmo Williams, who started as a film editor but also worked as producer and director. Williams won an Oscar for editing High Noon. The book is written in an easy to read style and provides good behind the scene stories on the various films Williams worked on. The most interesting are those regarding his work on The Longest Day and Tora! Tora! Tora! Williams seems to be one of those individuals when things don't go as planned, he was able to work around it and get show more a solution. I found the book to be most interesting. show less
