Biography

Little is known about Basil John Lancelot (Lance) Millward. He was born in Cape Town on 17 October 1925 and when he married Valerie Hilda Nebel in Johannesburg his profession was given as film technician. During the 1960s he worked as a film editor, first on a number of shorts produced at the National Film Board, and later on features by Richard Daneel and Percival Rubens. The last credit we have for him dates from 1971, when he was on the production team of Rubens’ Mr. Kingstreet’s War, though on that film the American John Bushelman was credited as editor.
