The sound of change Robert Parrish is the complete movie man. As a child actor he tormented Chaplin in City Lights and tore up the town with our gang. At the age of 35 he turned director, making an impressive debut with Cry Danger (1951). The intervening years, however, were spent as a cutter. He was, indeed, one of the best film editors in the business, winning an Academy Award for Body and Soul (1947). Here he remembers hard times in the cutting room - when sound arrived - Parrish, Robert 1916-1995 (1983)
