Anthony Harvey Talks About Working With Stanley Kubrick on 'Dr. Strangelove'

Glenn Kenny's interview with editor Anthony Harvey focuses on the famous pie-fight scene we never got to see from Dr. Strangelove, but this tidbit caught my eye:

Working with Kubrick overall was remarkable. I just learned a hell of a lot. As an example he always thought if an actor is giving a brilliant performance, don't cut to the other actors but keep going on the same performance. And leave it to the viewer to imagine the other person's reaction. The more simple it is, the better—which I thought was tremendous. I think you can over-edit things and you lose momentum rather than gain it.

Wait till he sees Revenge of the Fallen.
