Trivia
Landed the enviable role of cutter on Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch (1969) after Sam had seen his groundbreaking technique in My Mommy Got Lost (1967), an episode of The Felony Squad (1966) directed by George McCowan. Lombardo had taken footage of villain Joe Don Baker being gunned down by police, printed each frame of Baker's fall to the ground three times on an optical printer, and intercut this footage with shots of cops shooting and running for cover in real time. Peckinpah was so spellbound by this sequence,he hired Lombardo right away.
