William H. Ziegler (souvent crédité William Ziegler) est un monteur américain, né le 4 septembre 1909 à Philadelphie (Pennsylvanie), mort le 2 juillet 1977 à Los Angeles, quartier d'Encino (Californie).

Biography

Au cinéma — où il est monteur d'une centaine de films américains en tout —, William H. Ziegler débute sur des courts métrages sortis entre 1935 et 1938, dont En vadrouille de Charley Chase et Harold Law (1936, avec Charley Chase et Rosina Lawrence) et Feed 'em and Weep de Gordon Douglas (1938, de la série cinématographique Les Petites Canailles).

Les deux premiers longs métrages qu'il monte sortent en 1939, dont Capitaine Furie d'Hal Roach (avec Brian Aherne et Victor McLaglen). Parmi ses films notables, citons Duel au soleil de King Vidor (1946, avec Jennifer Jones et Gregory Peck), L'Inconnu du Nord-Express d'Alfred Hitchcock (1951, avec Farley Granger et Robert Walker), La Fureur de vivre de Nicholas Ray (1955, avec James Dean et Natalie Wood), My Fair Lady de George Cukor (1964, avec Audrey Hepburn et Rex Harrison) et Le Survivant de Boris Sagal (1971, avec Charlton Heston et Anthony Zerbe). Son dernier film est Un silencieux au bout du canon de John Sturges (avec John Wayne et Eddie Albert), sorti en 1974.

Durant sa carrière, il obtient trois nominations (dont une pour My Fair Lady précité) à l'Oscar du meilleur montage, mais n'en gagne pas.

Pour la télévision, William H. Ziegler est monteur sur cinq séries (1953-1959) et deux téléfilms (1973-1975).

It is just before dawn in Seattle. A man dons dark glasses and gloves and loads a 9mm silenced automatic handgun. He drives into town, where he shoots a policeman (Officer Philip Forsell; in the film the character is identified only as Hyatt) on his beat, then drives to a police impound yard and shoots the officer on duty (dialogue identifies him as Wally Johnson). At a luncheonette, as he washes his hands, he momentarily flashes a police badge belonging to Detective Sgt. Stan Boyle (William Bryant). When a car pulls up, Boyle goes outside and gives the driver a satchel containing the 9mm and proceeds to his own car – but is shot in the back by the unseen driver.

While General George Washington is conducting the struggle against the British Empire on the battlefield, the Continental Congress in Philadelphia piddles away its time over trivial matters and continually refuses to begin debating the question of American independence. The leader of the independence faction is the abrasive John Adams of Massachusetts, whose continuous pushing of the issue has brought their cause to a complete standstill. John Dickinson of Pennsylvania leads the opposition that hopes for reconciliation with England. During his quieter moments, Adams calls up the image of his wife Abigail Adams who resides in Massachusetts and gives him insight and encouragement (These conversations are based on letters between the couple). Dr. Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania suggests another colony that supports independence should submit a proposal.

In Copenhagen in 1962, a high-ranking Soviet intelligence officer, Boris Kusenov (Per-Axel Arosenius), defects to the West with his wife and daughter after a chase through the streets to the US embassy. In Washington DC, CIA agent Mike Nordstrom (John Forsythe) debriefs him and learns that Russian ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads are to be placed in Cuba. Needing physical evidence of the missiles, he contacts an old friend, French agent André Devereaux (Frederick Stafford), at his house in Georgetown. Nordstrom discloses Kusenov's name to Devereaux, asking him to bribe Luis Uribe, a member of Cuba's U.N. delegation, to provide photographs of documents confirming the missile bases in Cuba (knowing that Uribe hates the United States and would never cooperate with an American agent). Devereaux decides to accompany his daughter Michèle (Claude Jade) on her honeymoon with journalist François Picard (Michel Subor) as a reason to go to New York City. His wife Nicole (Dany Robin) is worried and tries to dissuade him.
