Connection
Russell Lloyd is a Director, Location Coordinator, Editor and Driver British born on 16 january 1916 at Swansea (United-kingdom)
Russell Lloyd (January 16, 1916 – January 21, 2008) was a British-born film editor who amassed fifty credits on feature films. Lloyd had a notable collaboration with the director John Huston that extended over eleven films. Lloyd was nominated for an Academy Award for Huston's The Man Who Would Be King (1975).
Lloyd's first film with Huston was Moby Dick (1956); Huston was so satisfied with Lloyd's initiative and editing that he subsequently entrusted post-production of the films he directed entirely to Lloyd. Tony Sloman has written, "Lloyd's remarkable relationship with Huston reached its apogee with The Man Who Would Be King (1975) in which the editor's and director's styles meshed seamlessly, for both were opposed to the then (and still) current trend for overcutting action sequences, and there is a tremendous moment of pure cinema when Sean Connery falls to his doom from a collapsing rope bridge in a single shot."
Lloyd had been elected to membership in the American Cinema Editors.
En particulier, il collabore avec John Huston sur dix de ses réalisations, depuis Moby Dick (1956, avec Gregory Peck et Richard Basehart) jusqu'à L'Homme qui voulut être roi (1975, avec Sean Connery et Michael Caine) — ce dernier lui valant son unique nomination à l'Oscar du meilleur montage, qu'il ne gagne pas —, en passant notamment par Reflets dans un œil d'or (1967, avec Marlon Brando et Elizabeth Taylor).
Citons également Anna Karénine de Julien Duvivier (1948, avec Vivien Leigh et Ralph Richardson), Le Renard s'évade à trois heures de Vittorio De Sica (1966, avec Peter Sellers et Victor Mature), ou encore Absolute Beginners de Julien Temple (1986, avec Patsy Kensit et David Bowie).
Mentionnons aussi sa seule contribution pour la télévision, à l'occasion de la mini-série Christophe Colomb d'Alberto Lattuada (1985, avec Gabriel Byrne dans le rôle-titre et Faye Dunaway).

In the West Coast of England in 1765, a young boy called Jim Hawkins lives with his mother in a tiny country inn which they run. Captain William Bones, a sickly lodger, gives Hawkins a treasure map after being visited by two pirates, the second of whom gives the captain a note marked with the black spot. That same night Bones is found dead at the inn, and Hawkins shows Squire Trelawney the map. Trelawney recognises the map as belonging to the buccaneer Captain Flint and bankrolls a voyage to discover the pirate's lost treasure. Trelawney hires Captain Smollett and his ship, the Hispaniola, bringing along his friend Dr. Livesey as the ship's doctor and Hawkins as the cabin boy.

The film stars Alan Bates (recreating his stage role) and takes place in a Yorkshire mining town. The Shaws (Bill Owen, Constance Chapman) are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary and their three sons have come up for a night out at an expensive restaurant. Mr. Shaw is a coal miner of 49 years, who married a woman from a higher social level (Constance Chapman). Mr. Shaw has only one year left until retirement. Mrs. Shaw urged her sons to abandon their father’s mining heritage in pursuit of corporate careers, but the results have not been positive. Andy (Bates), the oldest, became an attorney, but abandoned the work to pursue painting. Colin (James Bolam) was a former Communist party member, who has come to enjoy material (but not emotional) success as a labour negotiator for an automobile company. The youngest brother Steven (Brian Cox) is a teacher, married with four children of his own, who is writing a book, but has not produced any notable published works. The film examines the tensions which develop as the family reunite over the course of one evening. During the family gathering, the parents and their sons recall unpleasant past incidents, including the death of another brother, the mother’s suicide attempt, and the outing of one son as a homosexual.
