Thanks for posting this. He was definitely before his time. Run Silent Run Deep is another classis that gets better with each showing. I was at a local theater viewing of The Day The Earth Stood Still a few years ago. They had a phone link to England and Robert Wise wished us all well and thanked us for watching his film.

Very few of that generation of American filmmakers are left. Vincent Sherman (a rather minor figure) and Jules Dassin (last surviving blacklisted director) are the only ones that spring to mind.

Robert Wise was a fine Hollywood film director.
RIP Mister Wise.
