Bill Huelbig
Supporting Actor
When I was 7 years old back in 1961, there were only two directors I knew by name: Alfred Hitchcock and Robert Wise. When I was 5 years old, before I knew anything about directors or what they did, my favorite movie was THE CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE. Now, being 48 and having seen a lot of movies since then I'd say that, right now, my favorite living director is Robert Wise.
Has any other director made films in as many different genres as Wise has? I can't think of one - there have been many versatile directors (Billy Wilder and William Wyler come to mind) but it's usually sci-fi or horror that they haven't attempted, two genres that Wise is a master of. I also can't think of a genre that Wise HASN'T made a movie in.
