As Inexorable as a Lacing Path

The Technique of the Film Cutting Room by Ernest Walter (1968)

A review for the Journal of the Association of Cinematograph and Television Technicians (ACTT) of a Focal Press publication, the imprint servicing mainly amateur filmmakers and students. The article observed that the techniques described used methods that in the world of television were rapidly becoming obsolete. The publishers and friends of the author were so insenced by the line taken that the editor was forced to print a second review in the following issue. Such is the power of union members when behaving like the ruling classes.
