Walter Murch is a Actor, Director, Scriptwriter, Editor, Sound Designer and Thanks American born on 12 july 1943 at New York City (USA)
Walter Scott Murch (born July 12, 1943) is an American film editor and sound designer.
Murch commence sa carrière de monteur sur le film de Francis Ford Coppola, Les Gens de la pluie. Puis il travaille avec George Lucas sur THX 1138 et American Graffiti, et à nouveau avec Coppola sur Le Parrain. Toujours avec Coppola, il est nommé à l'Oscar du meilleur montage pour Conversation secrète (1974). La même année, il travaille également sur le mixage sonore du film Le Parrain 2.
En 1985, il réalise son unique film à ce jour, Oz, un monde extraordinaire, qu'il a coécrit avec Gill Dennis.
Contrairement à la plupart des monteurs contemporains, Murch aime travailler debout, à la manière d'un chirurgien ou d'un cuisinier. Au contraire, il s'allonge au sol pour écrire, considérant que le montage et l'écriture sont deux processus littéralement opposés.
En 2001, il écrit un livre consacré au montage, In The Blink of an Eye. Lui-même est le sujet principal du livre de Michael Ondaatje The Conversations en 2002, réunissant plusieurs conversations entre Ondaatje et Murch à la suite du travail de Murch sur le film Le Patient anglais tiré du roman éponyme d'Ondaatje.
En 2007, un documentaire intitulé Murch lui est consacré.

In the flashback, he meets David Nix, an official who is unimpressed with Frank's limited jet pack. Frank does draw the attention of a young girl named Athena. Seeing his potential, Athena gives Frank a pin embossed with a "T" symbol and tells him to follow her aboard the fair's "It's a Small World" attraction. Frank sneaks onto the ride, where his pin is scanned and he is transported into a futuristic cityscape known as Tomorrowland. He falls from a ledge, but straps on his jet pack and lands safely before Nix and Athena.

The film opens in 1938. Dominic Matei (Tim Roth), is a 70-year-old professor of linguistics. On the eve of World War II, Dominic attempts to visit the Café Select but is denied access due to wearing his pyjamas. Dominic realises that he is getting no younger, and has essentially failed his aim in life – to fully discover the origin of human language. His tireless labours have condemned him to a solitary existence, often spent pining after Laura (Alexandra Maria Lara), the love of his youth. Intent on committing suicide, Dominic travels to Bucharest, the city where he and Laura met at university. He is struck by lightning. In hospital, he is initially diagnosed by Professor Stanciulescu (Bruno Ganz) to be dying of his burns. However, Stanciulescu is startled when his patient regenerates into a much younger man. The Professor helps Dominic out of the hospital so as to continue studying him. Shortly afterwards, Romania is occupied by the Nazis, whose interests are aroused by Stanciulescu’s miracle patient.
