Biography

Louis R. Loeffler fait toute sa carrière à la Fox, où le premier film qu'il monte sort en 1927 ; le deuxième est La Danse rouge de Raoul Walsh (1928, avec Charles Farrell et Dolores del Río).

Fait particulier, il est l'un des monteurs attitrés d'Otto Preminger et l'assiste sur dix-sept films, depuis Margin for Error (1943, avec Joan Bennett, Milton Berle et le réalisateur) jusqu'à Que vienne la nuit (1967, avec Michael Caine et Jane Fonda), ultime des cent-cinq films américains qu'il monte. Dans l'intervalle, citons Laura (1944, avec Gene Tierney et Dana Andrews), Rivière sans retour (1954, avec Robert Mitchum et Marilyn Monroe), Autopsie d'un meurtre (1959, avec James Stewart et Lee Remick) et Le Cardinal (1963, avec Tom Tryon, Carol Lynley et Romy Schneider). Ces deux derniers lui valent chacun une nomination à l'Oscar du meilleur montage.

Parmi les autres films notables dont Louis R. Loeffler effectue le montage, mentionnons Quatre hommes et une prière de John Ford (1938, avec Loretta Young et Richard Greene), Le Rideau de fer de William A. Wellman (1948, à nouveau avec Dana Andrews et Gene Tierney), Comment épouser un millionnaire de Jean Negulesco (1953, avec Lauren Bacall, Betty Grable et Marilyn Monroe), Derrière le miroir de Nicholas Ray (1956, avec James Mason et Barbara Rush), ou encore Les Comancheros de Michael Curtiz (1961, avec John Wayne et Stuart Whitman).

Pour la télévision, il monte les épisodes pilotes respectifs de deux séries, Aventures dans les îles (1959) et Daniel Boone (1964).

In 1946, bigoted, draft-dodging Henry Warren and his wife Julie Ann, owners of a Northern canning plant, are determined to purchase a large tract of uncultivated farmland in rural Georgia. Two plots remain beyond their grasp, one owned by Henry's cousin Rad McDowell and his wife Lou, the other by black farmer Reeve Scott, whose mother Rose had been Julie's mammy. Neither man is interested in selling his land, and they form a partnership to strengthen their claim to it, which infuriates Henry.

Francis Bernardone (Bradford Dillman) is the son of a wealthy cloth merchant in Assisi, who gives up all his worldly goods to dedicate himself to God. Clare (Dolores Hart) is a young aristocratic woman who, according to the film, is so taken with St. Francis that she leaves her family and becomes a nun. By this time (1212 A.D.), St. Francis has a well-established reputation for his vows of poverty. The movie goes on to note miracles (such as the appearance of the stigmata on Francis's hands and feet) and other aspects of his life, up to and including his death on October 3, 1226. The funeral befitted a man loved by man and beast alike, and ended with the birds he loved doing a flyby.
