“Chinatown” is inarguably one of the greatest films ever made in the United States. While Roman Polanski is often credited for that certitude, the film’s editor Sam O’Steen is also largely responsible for the film’s place in film history. And the Metrograph Cinema in NYC is once again recognizing Sam’s place in the editing pantheon by screening “Chinatown” in a gorgeous 35mm print as part of the ACE Presents series. That’s on Saturday, April 26th, 6:50 PM with a post screening conversation between Sam’s widow, editor/author/film historian Bobbie O’Steen and her daughter Molly O’Steen. They are my guests on this special episode of the podcast.
