Richard C. Currier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard C. Currier (August 26, 1892, Denver, Colorado, USA - December 14, 1984, El Toro, California) was an American film editor known principally for his work as head of the editing department at Hal Roach Studios from 1920 to 1932. His contract ensured that name appeared as editor on nearly every Hal Roach film released while he was head of the department, though the actual work was often done by other people. Most of the Laurel and Hardy films released by the company during this period were edited by Bert Jordan. After his work at Roach, Currier worked at Paramount and Monogram. He worked at Hal Roach again for a short while before starting his own editing company.
