Dorothy Spencer (February 3, 1909 – May 23, 2002) was an American film editor with seventy-five feature film credits from a career than spanned more than 50 years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Turner Classic Movies )〕〔 Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Film Editing on four occasions, she is remembered for editing three of director John Ford's best known movies, including ''Stagecoach'' (1939) and ''My Darling Clementine'' (1946), which film critic Roger Ebert called "Ford's greatest Western". ==Career== Spencer was born in Covington, Kentucky in 1909. She entered the film industry when she joined the employ of the Consolidated-Aller Lab in 1924. She moved to Fox, becoming a member of the editorial department. Worked at First National Studios assisting editors Louis Loeffler, Al DeGaetano and Irene Morra. At Fox, she and Loeffler were part of an editorial team that also included, at one time or another, Barbara McLean, Robert Simpson, William Reynolds and Hugh S. Fowler. In the 1940s, Spencer edited Alfred Hitchcock's ''Foreign Correspondent'' (1940) and ''Lifeboat'' (1944); the latter featured a particularly feisty and well-edited Tallulah Bankhead performance. Spencer edited four films with director Ernst Lubitsch, commencing with ''To Be or Not to Be'' (1942), and now considered "one of film's great farces", and concluding with Lubitsch's last, posthumous credit ''That Lady in Ermine'' (1948). Spencer also edited director Elia Kazan's feature film debut, ''A Tree Grows in Brooklyn'' (1945). Spencer edited the disaster film ''Earthquake'' (1974), which was the last of her eight collaborations with director Mark Robson. ''Varietys review of the film touted, "... Earthquake is an excellent dramatic exploitation extravaganza, combining brilliant special effects with a multi-character plot line...".〔( Variety review ''Earthquake'' 1974 (subscription) )〕 ''Varietys Eileen Kowalski notes that, "Indeed, many of the editorial greats have been women: Dede Allen, Verna Fields, Thelma Schoonmaker, Anne V. Coates and Dorothy Spencer."〔((Editor) "Tina Hirsch" By Eileen Kowalski ''Variety'' 14 November 2001 (subscription) )〕 Spencer was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Film Editing for ''Earthquake'', which was her fourth and final nomination. It followed her nomination for what still reigns as the most expensive movie ever made, ''Cleopatra'' (1963). Spencer had previously been nominated for ''Decision Before Dawn'' (directed by Anatole Litvak-1951) and, with Otho Lovering, for ''Stagecoach'' (directed by John Ford-1939). Spencer was awarded the American Cinema Editors Career Achievement Award in 1989, and was among the first four editors to receive the Award. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dorothy Spencer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
