Life
Loeffler began his career in film editing in 1927 at Fox Film Corporation , which merged with 20th Century Pictures to form 20th Century Fox in 1935 , where Loeffler was under contract until the 1950s. While it was used exclusively in B-films in the 1930s , it was increasingly used in large-scale productions in the 1940s.

For the two Preminger films Anatomy of a Murder (1959) and The Cardinal (1963) Loeffler received a nomination for an Oscar in the category Best Editing . He died in Hollywood in 1972 at the age of 75 and was buried in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles.
