[5] Joseph Losey was an American film and theatre director who emigrated to Britain in the 1950s after being blacklisted for work in the entertainment industry in the United States.
Mills edited The Servant (1963), which was the first of Losey's films with a screenplay written by Harold Pinter, a playwright who ultimately received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2005.
Roy Perkins and Martin Stollery single out the editing of The Go-Between (1971), the third and last film of the Losey-Pinter collaboration, writing that "sharply cut, initially cryptic alternations between time-past and time-present are deftly integrated into the narrative.".
Sloman concludes of Beck and Losey's collaboration, "Their professional and personal relationship was regarded as one of the great screen partnerships".
Sloman concludes his obituary of Beck, "above all, it is for his immense contributions to Henry V and Hamlet that the British film industry is forever in his debt.
