Harold Young (filmmaker)
Harold Young (November 13, 1897 – March 3, 1972) was an American film director, editor, and occasional actor.

Career
Young was born in 1897 in Portland, Oregon, where he was raised and attended high school. 

After graduating from Columbia University, Young began his career as a film editor from 1923-1934, working first on a series of George O'Hara short subjects under the director Malcolm St. Clair.
