Reginald Mills
Reginald "Reggie" Mills (1912–1990) was an English film editor and one-time film director with more than thirty feature film credits. Among his prominent films are The Red Shoes (1948), The Servant (1963), and Romeo and Juliet (1968).
He graduated from Cambridge University with a degree in modern languages in 1934. He assisted David Lean in the editing of two films directed by Paul Czinner, As You Like It (1936) and Dreaming Lips (1937); Lean was then working as an editor, but subsequently became a distinguished director (cf. Lawrence of Arabia (1963)). Mills then worked for Publicity Films at Merton Park Studios, both as a director and editor of films for commercial clients.
During World War II (1939–1945) he was stationed in an anti-aircraft battery on the Thames Estuary throughout the whole of the London Blitz. He served with the Army Kinematograph Unit, and was the uncredited editor for a military orientation film, The New Lot (directed by Carol Reed-1943).

Famous quotes containing the words reginald and/or mills:
“You have nothing more to fear. Not death nor decay. Here in this cup is my gift of life to you. I’m going to make you immortal. And I, too, shall drink and be immortal. We will not return to Egypt. Our world shall be wide, our time shall be without end. Has any man before offered a gift of eternal life to his bride?”
—Griffin Jay, and Reginald LeBorg. Yousef Bey (John Carradine)
“The logical English train a scholar as they train an engineer. Oxford is Greek factory, as Wilton mills weave carpet, and Sheffield grinds steel. They know the use of a tutor, as they know the use of a horse; and they draw the greatest amount of benefit from both. The reading men are kept by hard walking, hard riding, and measured eating and drinking, at the top of their condition, and two days before the examination, do not work but lounge, ride, or run, to be fresh on the college doomsday.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
