	Robert Wise, Film Director, Dies at 91 - New York Times
		Wise enjoyed a long career in which he became a notable editor of such films as Orson Welles's "Citizen Kane," then made a successful transition from making B-movies at RKO Studios during Hollywood's golden era of the 1940's to making important films in the 1950's, 60's and 70's.
		Robert Earl Wise was born on Sept. 10, 1914, in Winchester, Ind., the son of a meatpacker and his wife.
		Wise conceded that "as a work of art" the original Welles version was better, but he defended his editing as saving the film from a worse fate at the hands of the studio.

		Wise's tendency towards professionalism led to a degree of preparedness which, though nominally motivated by studio budget constraints, nevertheless advanced the moviemaking art, with many Academy Award-winning films the result.
		Wise sought never to waste the time (or salary) of the talented people who produced his features: the result was an impressively prolific series of films which showcase the talents of director, cast, and crew.
		Wise attended Connersville High School in Connersville, Indiana, and its auditorium, the Robert E. Wise Center for Performing Arts, is named in his honor.

		Her rekindled interest in Robert's fate leads her to locate him, and she comes to his hospital bedside, where he is recovering from heart surgery.
		Wise is deeply respectful, even obsequious, toward his main characters and their generation; when Mary's daughter discovers her mother's yearbooks, she notes with envy that "goodness and dignity oozed out of the pictures." More vigorous editing would have improved the story.
		When Robert reaches a dark moment, for instance, the narrative claims that he "buried his face in his hands and stared at the blanket." Apart from sloppy prose, the novel might have benefited from stronger engagement with religion.

	Robert Wise - Biography - Moviefone
		Wise left RKO at the end of the 1940s and went to 20th Century Fox, where his most important film, among a string of popular releases, was the visionary pacifist science fiction/drama The Day the Earth Stood Still.
		Wise was suggested as a replacement, and agreed to make the movie, but only if the studio agreed to finance Wise's production of The Sand Pebbles (1966), which he had been trying to raise money to make for several years.
		Wise's fortunes declined following Audrey Rose (1977), a sensitively made and effective occult drama; Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1980) was marred by major production problems; and Rooftops, an '80s urban musical, was ignored by the public and derided by the critics.

	WBUR’s News and Arts Blog » Blog Archive » Robert Wise dead at age 91
		Wise, who avoided message films (except for “The Day the Earth Stood Still”), preferred to concentrate on a character study of Barbara Graham, who was executed in San Quentin’s gas chamber (Susan Hayward won an Oscar for her performance).
		Wise loved doing firsthand research for his movies, for example spending time in dingy gyms and arenas preparing for “The Set-Up.” For “I Want to Live!”, he inspected the gas chamber and witnessed an execution.
		Wise will forever carry a fl mark on him in film history since he was the one tapped by RKO to truncate Orson Welles’ second feature “The Magnificent Ambersons,” and to reshoot its ending while Welles was in South America.

		Wise also directed a scene in another film he edited, The Fallen Sparrow (1943), in the absence of the director Richard Wallace, so he was eager for a directorial assignment when the director of The Curse of the Cat People, Gunther von Fritsch, failed to meet the production schedule.

		Wise then did another stage adaptation, Two for the Seesaw (1962), starring Robert Mitchum and Shirley MacLaine in what on stage had been a two-character piece, then made another of his masterworks, The Haunting (1963), which is regarded (with Jack Clayton's The Innocents) as being one of the two best ghost stories of the Sixties.

		Characteristically modest, Wise always maintained that Welles chiefly took him on because they were about the same age and Welles preferred his attitude to that of the cynical old-timers in the studio's editing department.
