RIP. "Day The Earth Stood Still" holds up even today in my view. He was a capable director who probably hasn't gotten his due from later generations.

He did a great job with "West Side Story" as well. He won the best director Oscar in '61 for it (along with Jerome Robbins). The man could do all genres, that's for sure.

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.
