Hugh Stewart (b. December 14, 1910) is a British film editor and producer.
Born in Falmouth, England, Stewart was educated first at Claysmore and then at Cambridge and entered the film industry in the early 1930’s. He trained as a film editor at Gaumont-British, initially cutting together out-takes from Marry Me (1932) and working as assembly cutter on The Constant Nymph that same year. His first film as editor was Forbidden Territory (1934). Among the films he cut were Evergreen (1934), Alfred Hitchcock’s original version of The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), Dark Journey (1937), Action for Slander (1937), South Riding (1938), St. Martin’s Lane (1938), and The Spy in Black (1939).
After World War II, Stewart became a film producer, beginning with Trottie True (1949). He made a series of films with comedian Norman Wisdom, starting with Man of the Moment (1955), and the comedy duo of Morecambe and Wise. Although he went into semi-retirement in the late 1960's, he produced several films for the Children’s Film Foundation, including All At Sea (1970), Mr. Horatio Knibbles (1971), and High Rise Donkey (1980).
