Robert Wise 100 -- September 10, 2014

Happy 100th birthday to director Robert Wise.  I remember when he gave many interviews about working with Orson Welles on Citizen Kane.  He worked closely with producer Val Lewton at RKO.

One of my favorite Robert Wise movies is Somebody Up There Likes Me, where Paul Newman played Rocky Graziano:

I don't care much for science fiction, but The Day the Earth Stood Still is a favorite.
