  Christian Nyby II
His readings are discovered to have been assignations, a fact known to his mistress.
Nyby has it all over this conflagration by dint of the writing (Gerry Conway, Wayne Berwick) but also the sheer combination of experience directing television and watching such fires as they are shown on the local news (very likely in person, too).
His combined experience allows him to suggest a great deal more of the fire than he is required to show, without any diminishment, and the cumulative effect is of a natural disaster standing in relation to the heightened passions of the situation the way these latter dwarf the characters.

Christian Nyby and Hollywood icon Howard Hawks co-directed the film; however, some have disputed Hawks's contributions.
Nyby's directorial credit was also an extension of Hawks's generosity.
Apparently Nyby, who previously served under the dynamic Hawks as editor, needed some directing credits to satisfy his union obligations.

 THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The real joy of the film is in watching another great Hawks ensemble cast enact a sharp tale in the most entertaining fashion possible.
It's a shame that Hawks' lack of respect for the science fiction genre is evidenced by the fact that he allowed Christian Nyby take director's credit for
It's now known that this was done so that Nyby could get into the Director's Guild, but it clearly shows that Hawks didn't take the film very seriously as part of his career.

 The Thing from Another World
Although Christian Nyby is officially credited as director, there can be little question in anyone's mind but that 'producer' Howard Hawks is primarily responsible.
Based on 'Who Goes There?', a terrific short story by John W. Campbell (writing as Don A. Stuart), it deals with an isolated group of scientists threatened by the malevolent, extra-terrestrial vegetable they thaw out of the Antarctic permafrost.

 dOc DVD Review: The Thing From Another World (1951)
The directorial credits for The Thing From Another World are given to Christian Nyby (who went on to do a lot of television directing, including ironically Gunsmoke), with producer credits going to the legendary Howard Hawks (The Big Sleep, Rio Bravo, Red River).
It has been widely rumored over the years that Hawks himself eventually took over directing duties, and this is generally regarded as a Hawks-directed film through and through, despite it having Nyby's name in the credits; it is Hawks' name that is in large type on the poster art—draw your own conclusion.
Hawks' underlying influence on the script is seemingly evident in the smartly-written, often overlapping dialogue, though like the directing role, he is not credited onscreen as a writer.

 Hollywood Gothique: Thing From Another World (1951) - Review
The film that really launched the Hollywood alien invasion craze of the 1950s, this Howard Hawks production (directed by Christian Nyby) boasts rapid-fire dialogue that shoots the story along at an amazing clip.
All the jump-out-and-grab-you scares of the ensuing decades were never able to match the shock impact of the moment when one of the humans casaully opens a door--only to find the equally surprised Thing on the other side!
No first-hand source has ever confirmed this rumor, and James Arness has said that, although Hawks was a presence on the set in his role as producer, the credited Christian Nyby did indeed direct the film.

 THE ASTOUNDING B MONSTER | HORROR
It is, in fact, Hawks longtime editor Christian Nyby who receives the directing credit.
Nominated for an Academy Award for editing Hawks' classic western Red River, some have stated that The Thing was Nyby's reward, a show of esteem from an old master.
While this debate is certainly of unlimited interest to all film fans, in the end, The Thing succeeds because it is an unequaled example of team filmmaking.

After all, this was Christian Nyby's first screen credit as a director and he went on to direct mostly television series from "Gunsmoke" to "Kojak." Whatever the background of the story, what is important is that this film manages to combine claustrophobia, xenophobia, paranoia and hypothermia into a first rate chiller.
Yes, the credits list Christian Nyby as director, but Howard Hawks was on the set nearly every day, each scene has elements of style unique to Hawks, alone, and even the cast members, when interviewed, have said Hawks ran the entire show.
Perhaps, as Science Fiction films were not highly regarded in the early 50s, he felt his reputation might suffer if he acknowledged his contribution; perhaps he thought it might help Nyby's credentials if he were given credit for this masterfully crafted tale.

 THE THING (FROM ANOTHER WORLD)
Watching this movie one cannot help but marvel at what had passed as scary back in 1951 - especially considering the gruesome remake the film would get in 1982 (simply as The Thing) at the hands of cult director John Carpenter!
It would seem that people in the 1950s were cleverer than people nowadays.
Incidentally, although the movie's official credits has Christian Nyby as its director, pundits consider it to be a film by the legendary Howard Hawks - who served as producer; a bit like Steven Spielberg being considered as the real director of Poltergeist and not Tobe Hooper.

 Slant Magazine - Film Review: The Thing From Another World
Cast: Margaret Sheridan, Kenneth Tobey, Robert Cornthwaite, Douglas Spencer, James R. Young and James Arness.
egend has it that 1951's The Thing From Another World was helmed not by its credited director Christian Nyby but by the film's producer, celebrated filmmaker Howard Hawks.
The film certainly provides ample evidence to suggest that such a covert switch occurred—the film's controlled atmosphere of dread, as well as its abundant rapid-fire repartee between the primary players, seem to have been molded according to Hawks' trademark template.
