Russell Schoengarth

Russell Frances Schoengarth , also known as Russell F. Schoengarth (born May 28, 1904 in Wakefield (Michigan) , United States , † March 30, 1974 in Palm Desert , California ) was an American film editor with over four decades as chief editor in Hollywood film.

Live and act

Schoengarth grew up in Michigan and Minnesota and came to Los Angeles in the 1920s. During the silent film era, he received training in film editing in Hollywood and worked as an assistant editor until the advent of talkies. In his early years, Schoengarth worked primarily for small production companies such as Victor Halperin Productions , Crescent Pictures , Grand National and Monogram Pictures . Although he worked for Universal Studios for the first time in the early 1930s , this company only became his sole employer at the beginning of 1942, to which he would remain loyal for a good quarter of a century. Schoengarth spent his last working years (1969 to 1971) in television.

Russell F. Schoengarth's specialty was initially "tough man's stuff" such as horror films ( The Werewolf of London , The Climax , Dracula's House ), numerous cheap wests (including Terror Trail and Rustler's Roundup with Tom Mix ), gangster and prison films ( I am a Criminal, Gang Bullets, Gangster's Boy, Uprising in the Prison ) as well as several detective films about the series characters Mr. Wong and Sherlock Holmes. After the Second World War, higher-class productions were added, including some classic films in the 1950s that James Stewart directed with Anthony Mann ( Mutiny on the Serpent River , The Bay of Death in Louisiana , The Glenn Miller Story , About the Death Pass ) and a plethora of melodramas by German-born director Douglas Sirk ( Mystery Submarine , gambling debts, a weekend with dad , Has anybody seen my Gal? , written on the wind , the last chord , the angel with the wings bloody, duel in the clouds ).

In the 1960s, Russell Schoengarth was mainly responsible for editing some conventional comedies, adventure films, again westerns and a handful of war films, most recently In Enemy Country . Schoengarth's last work for the cinema was the job of a production manager on the humble horror flick The Boy Who Cried Werewolf in 1972 . Shortly thereafter, Russell Frances Schoengarth died at his home in Palm Desert. Schoengarth had three children together with his wife Mary.
