Edited together with Craig McKay, Reds would earn the most accolades of both his and Dede Allen’s careers with 12 Oscar nominations, including Film Editing. Allen says she learned “how to be smarter in life” from director-writer-producer-star Warren Beatty; their positive experience on Bonnie and Clyde (1967) made her keen to support this ambitious project. Allegedly shooting for over two years with no days off and canning 2.5 million feet of film, this historical epic has been remembered by film historian Peter Biskind as “one of the most audacious and politically literate movies ever to come out of Hollywood.”
