“My job was just to log all the film as it came in . . . so any shot needed could be given to Graeme [Clifford], the editor, as he needed it. It was just creating some order and keeping order. Graeme would be on the editing machine. Tony Lawson was the first assistant. Nic would come in to check how it was going. They’d often watch sequences to existing music that was later replaced by Pino Donaggio’s score. I have a strong memory of the funeral scene with Fauré’s Pavane, which worked beautifully.”

—Alfreda (Alfie) Benge, assistant editor, Don’t Look Now
