He is best known for his directorial and editing work on eight ''James Bond'' films from the 1960s to the 1980s. ==Life and career== Glen had his start in the film-making industry as a messenger boy in 1945. By the late 1940s, he was working in the visual and sound editorial departments of Shepperton Studios for films produced by Alexander Korda, such as ''The Third Man'' (1949) and ''The Wooden Horse'' (1950). Moving up the ranks, Glen made his picture editorial debut on a documentary series titled ''Chemistry For Six Forms'' in 1961, and his directorial debut on the TV series ''Man in a Suitcase'' in 1968 (directing the episode "Somebody Loses, Somebody ...
