Career
Lloyd had a notable collaboration with the director John Huston that extended over eleven films. Lloyd"s first film with Huston was Moby Dick (1956). Huston was so satisfied with Lloyd"s initiative and editing that he subsequently entrusted post-production of the films he directed entirely to Lloyd.
Tony Sloman has written, "Lloyd"s remarkable relationship with Huston reached its apogee with The Manitoba Who Would Be King (1975) in which the editor"s and director"s styles meshed seamlessly, for both were opposed to the then (and still) current trend for overcutting action sequences, and there is a tremendous moment of pure cinema when Sean Connery falls to his doom from a collapsing rope bridge in a single shot."
Lloyd had been elected to membership in the American Cinema Editors.
