NORMAN WANSTALL'S BIRTHDAY
A celebration of Norman Wanstall, Academy Award winning sound editor for his work on Goldfinger (1964), on his birthday.

With this page, From Sweden with Love would like to extend our personal wishes to a wonderful person and friend.

"Our sincere best wishes for your birthday Norm, we love you."

About Norman Wanstall:
Norman worked on the first five James Bond films; Dr. No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), and You Only Live Twice (1967).

In 1970 he was sent to Copenhagen to edit The Only Way starring Jane Seymour which dealt with the escape of the Jews to Sweden in World War II.

Eager to leave London and raise his family in a more rural environment, he left the industry in 1977 after writing and editing the bull-fighting documentary Rejoneador. In 1983 he was recalled as sound editor on Sean Connery's last outing as Bond in Never Say Never Again.

Wanstall is a founding member of The Guild of British Film Editors and represented Britain on the first Features Jury at Cork Film Festival on Ireland.

Anders Frejdh, founder of FSWL, invited Norman to come to Sweden and give a lecture about his sound editing work for a special and unique James Bond course at University of Skövde in 2006. Read a report from that occasion here.
