Dennis Gurney was a film editor.

== Biography ==

Dennis Gurney was a British-born film editor who spent a few years working in South Africa. He appears to have started his career during the war years as an often uncredited assistant editor at Two Cities Films before coming to Johannesburg for [[African Film Productions]]. He worked on both features and documentaries and seems to have produced at least one documentary, called ''Diamond Coast'' (1954), which was credited to Dennis Gurney Ltd. After his return to Great Britain in 1954, he worked for World Wide Pictures, a prominent documentary production company, working with directors such as James Hill, Paul Dickson, Harry Watt and John Heyer. One of their films in which he was involved as editor, ''Antarctic Crossing'' (1958) by James Carr, was nominated for an Academy Award. In 1960 he left for Canada to work for Crawley Films, but after two years he returned to England.
