It was Amy's editing that was one of the main reasons Warners' films got their reputation for their fluid style and breakneck pace. He was a favorite of such top Warners directors as Michael Curtiz and Howard Hawks, and won an Academy Award for editing Hawks' Air Force (1943). Although Amy directed several shorts and a few features on his own for Warners, they didn't meet with much success. In the 1950s he turned to editing and directing for television.
