Oswald Hafenrichter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yugoslavian born editor Oswald Hafenrichter (1899 - 1973) cut his teeth on a series of German films in the early 30s and some Italian films in the mid 40s.

He moved to England at the end of World War II and worked on some prestige British films of the time including "An Ideal Husband" in 1947, and two classic films for Carol Reed, "The Fallen Idol" in 1949 and "The Third Man" the following year, for which he received an Academy Award nomination.

Hafenrichter then alternated between Italy and England for the rest of his career, ending his career in the 70s editing a series of Hammer horror films.
