About Robert Wise
The Day the Earth Stood Still from 1951 gives the sci fi fable peak, with a visitor judging mankind. I Want to Live from 1958 follows with a death row drama earning Hayward her Oscar. West Side Story from 1961 brings the double Oscar haul as co director of the Sharks and Jets.
The Haunting from 1963 returns to Lewton lessons with suggestion over shock. The Sound of Music from 1965 repeats the double Oscar feat with the Trapp family. The Andromeda Strain from 1971 closes this run with procedural sci fi dread. Star Trek The Motion Picture extends it for completists.
Good to know
The films share genres but no story, so release order shows the journeyman range best. Start with West Side Story for the musical peak, then Haunting for the horror craft. Day the Earth Stood Still plays short and sharp. Sound of Music runs three hours, so save it for a full night. Star Trek extends the run for completists.
