George E Boemler (1902-68) was a film editor who spent the bulk of his career in the editing department of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
Boemler cut his teeth working on Spanish-language versions of Buster Keaton pictures, including the musical Free and Easy. His first credit in an original picture was for the musical Hollywood Party. By 1962 and his final film, Five Weeks in a Balloon, Boemler had spliced around seventy pictures.
Boemler’s credits include: A Family Affair (1937), the first Andy Hardy film; Waterloo Bridge (1940); Two-Faced Woman (1941), Garbo’s swan song; Adam’s Rib (1949); The Asphalt Jungle (1950); Pat and Mike (1952); and Run Silent, Run Deep (1958). In the 1960s, Boemler won an Emmy for his work on the Ben Casey television series.
In addition to Hollywood Party, four MGM musicals were edited by Boemler: Balalaika, Thousands Cheer, Two Girls and a Sailor and Thrill of a Romance.
