I'm so glad to be back in touch with him after so many years, and I appreciate your filling in some of the details I missed.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515783219367479399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-33048459182202268562014-09-13T19:34:27.679-07:002014-09-13T19:34:27.679-07:00Having known Saul for the last 48 years, I can vou...Having known Saul for the last 48 years, I can vouch for the verity of most of this story. Beverly left out a very important detail: Saul Saladow is the most loyal and the best friend anyone could ever dream of. We met in college. He was an usher at my first wedding and a few years later beat my mother to the hospital when my son was born. Cameron and his two girls have always known him as uncle Saul. A bachelor, Saul is dedicated to his two nieces, Kirsten and Samantha., as well as all his friends children, who also refer to him as "uncle Saul." His generosity is embarrassing. He was best man at my second wedding. We danced at weddings and Bar-mitzvas and cried at funerals together. He has always been there when I needed someone to talk to and has very seldom been judgmental. By the way: I don't think Saul ever pretended to know something he didn't. Over forty years ago, the then head of personnel at Warner-Brothers loved him at first sight and hired him. Soon after, despite working as a "gofer", Saul earned the respect of many in the studio, who then gave him a chance. Ivan Reitman was just ONE of the many editors Saul worked with. He was favored by Sheldon Kahn, including work on "Out of Africa", which earned Mr. Kahn an Academy Award Nomination, and he also worked with Wendy Bricmont and did some work for Steven Spielberg. <br />Saul has done well; but he would be no different if he "only sold candy at a concession stand."<br />ReplyDeleteVeriuskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300692538048949121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-52119797909550284662014-09-13T19:24:12.745-07:002014-09-13T19:24:12.745-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Veriuskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300692538048949121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-11891006330978176372014-09-11T19:40:09.289-07:002014-09-11T19:40:09.289-07:00I don't blame him!

As one of those former small cogs - I salute Mr. Saladow - love stories where people feign experience to get the job - but then learn the job and do the job. I wish he'd gotten at least another year in - just so his last film worked on wasn't the mediocre My Super Ex-Girlfriend.
