Prominent editor, mostly of US films and some TV. An adept handler of powerful and violent action scenes, Zinner has several very important films to his credit. His earliest work dates back to the late 1950s; one of his first films was the early Sam Peckinpah Western, "The Deadly Companions" (1961). His mid-60s work is distinguished by two solid films for director Richard Brooks, the exciting Western "The Professionals" (1966) and the chilling docudrama "In Cold Blood" (1967). Zinner has not been a prolific craftsman, but in the 70s, after working on Mikhail Kalatozov's "La Tenda Rossa" (1970), he spliced together the vivid imagery for Francis Ford Coppola's landmark revisionist gangster epics, "The Godfather" (1972) and "The Godfather, Part II" (1974).
