Fighter Squadron (1948)
The film spent nearly two years in editing. The first cuts proved to be all wrong so, in desperation, Howard Hawks reached out to Christian Nyby, his friend and a respected editor, who was working at Warner Brothers editing Fighter Squadron (1948) at the time. Nyby agreed with Hawks that the film wasn't working but told him he couldn't help him as he was contracted to Warners. Hawks got around that by contacting Warners chief Jack L. Warner who was aboard the ocean liner Queen Mary on the way to Europe, and secured his permission to use Nyby. So the editor would cut Fighter Squadron (1948) by day and then, after hours, get to work on this film.
