DIRECTOR OF SOUND

WALTER MURCH

Nearly 35 years ago, Walter Murch walked this same stairwell with a Nagra and recorded his footsteps for a scene in The Godfather: Part II, where Don Fanucci climbs to his death at the hands of Robert De Niro. At the time, Murch was credited with “sound montage,” though in Francis Ford Coppola’s world, he was a “director of sound.” He directs, he writes, he edits film. He won the rarest Oscar double in history (for Film Editing and Sound) for The English Patient. But we still like to refer to him as the original “sound designer.”
