Known for his work for Universal from 1929 to 1966, Milton Carruth was
one of the regular go-to guys as far as editing on their lot. Aside from the an
oddly prolific couple of years in the mid-1930s as a director (seven films
between 1936-37), he racked up over a hundred credits in his thirty-seven year
tenure in a wide range of genres. Although plying his craft to just about
everything (most notably he cut the silent version of All Quiet On The Western
Front in his early days), he became most well known for his work in the horror
genre, in particular as the film editor for several of the classic Universal
Horror features, including Dracula, The Mummy, Murders In The Rue Morgue,
Werewolf Of London, among others. He also worked with Alfred Hitchcock on
Shadow Of A Doubt, and while that film has prowess in just about every
department, the contribution of Carruth cannot be denied.
