Hello,

Sometimes, film directors attribute a mediocre final version of a film they directed, to the editors/ editing process. Less common, is that a poor film, has been greatly improved by an editor/editing. John Ford: director of classics such as “The Searchers, and “The Quiet Man”, shot scenes in such a way, that they could not be edited, i.e tampered with.  Have you ever been unhappy with the final version of any of your books i.e the way it was edited? Or are you like, John Ford, you construct scenes in such a manner,your work can’t be tampered with by editors in a detrimental way?

Regards and thanks,

Adrian.
