Arthur Hilton is a Director, Associate Producer and Editor British born on 5 april 1897 at London (United-kingdom)
Arthur Hilton (Born April 5, 1897 in London, England died October 15, 1979 in Sherman Oaks, California) was a British-born film editor.
He was born in London and edited his first film in England in 1928. Shortly after, he emigrated to Hollywood where he worked on such films as the W. C. Fields classic comedies The Bank Dick (1940) and Never Give a Sucker an Even Break (1941), and Julien Duvivier’s portmanteau film Flesh and Fantasy (1943).
He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Film Editing for Robert Siodmak’s film noir The Killers in 1946.
Hilton migrated to television in the 1950s, where he was able to establish himself as a director. However, his attempts to direct for the big screen were fairly disastrous, with his 1953 film Cat-Women of the Moon generally being regarded nowadays as a camp classic.
Retreating back to television, and back in his editing capacity, Hilton worked on such series as Lassie, Mission: Impossible and the 1977 mini-series Washington: Behind Closed Doors, for which he received a nomination from the American Cinema Editors Association. He died 2 years later in California.
Entretemps, citons Obsessions de Julien Duvivier (1943, avec Edward G. Robinson et Charles Boyer), Les Tueurs de Robert Siodmak (1946, avec Burt Lancaster et Ava Gardner, film qui lui vaut une nomination à l'Oscar du meilleur montage) et House by the River de Fritz Lang (1950, avec Louis Hayward et Jane Wyatt).
Il est également monteur pour la télévision américaine de 1954 à 1979, sur quelques téléfilms et surtout des séries, dont Lassie (cinquante-cinq épisodes, 1954-1957), Au nom de la loi (six épisodes, 1958-1960) et Mission impossible (six épisodes, 1969-1970).
Par ailleurs, Arthur Hilton est occasionnellement réalisateur au cinéma et à la télévision, entre 1950 (le western The Return of Jesse James , avec John Ireland et Ann Dvorak) et 1960 (un téléfilm). Dans l'intervalle, mentionnons un épisode de Lassie (1956) et deux épisodes d’Au nom de la loi (1960), séries précitées.
Enfin, il est producteur associé de deux téléfilms diffusés en 1972 (dont The Hound of the Baskervilles de Barry Crane) et de quatre épisodes (1977-1978) de la série Police Story (dont il est principalement monteur).
