Harry Miller
British sound editor Harry Miller made an important contribution to film in 1929 by becoming the first dubbing editor. He accomplished this while working on Hitchcock's early talkies, most notably Blackmail, in which he had actress Joan Barry speak the dialogue outside the camera's range while the film's leading lady, Anna Ondra, whose Czech-accented English was unintelligible, mouthed the words. The actual title "dubbing editor" was ascribed to Miller in 1939 on the credits for Goodbye, Mr. Chips. Miller did sound work on films through the mid-'60s. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
