Bullitt's dynamic editing, highlighted by its twisting, squealing, hill-leaping chase sequence that leaves viewers whooping and woozy, earned a 1968 Best Film Editing Oscar and helped make the film an action classic. How do film editors work this kind of magic? This fascinating program lets you in on the secrets.

"What makes a movie a movie is the editing," says Zach Staenberg, Academy Award®-winning editor of the Matrix trilogy. Closeups, flashbacks, parallel action, slow motion, juxtaposition of images -- these are just a few tools that make clips from Birth of a Nation to Pulp Fiction, The Battleship Potemki' to Gladiator indelible. Narrated by Kathy Bates and with interviews of a who's who of contemporary directors and editors, The Cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Editing is, shot for shot and frame after frame, reel magic.
