Drawing from his own ascent through the MGM studio system, Mr. Winters guides the reader through a history of American film editing, beginning with its earliest days when film was torn by hand. Not a glamorous account of Hollywood, the book gives film buffs and moviegoers a nuts-and-bolts look at the mechanics of editing from the inside out.
