biography
A teen runaway who got a job at Famous Players-Lasky through a boys' club he belonged to, Edward Dmytryk began in the film industry as an office boy, learned film splicing and also worked as a projectionist. A very bright boy, he left film to attend Cal Tech, but dropped out after a year and returned to his old studio, now Paramount Pictures, and before long became an editor there. Between 1930 and 1940 Dmytryk edited such well-remembered efforts as "Million Dollar Legs" (1932), "Belle of the Nineties" (1934), "Ruggles of Red Gap" (1935) and "Love Affair" (1939).
