Some men enter the field of movie direction because they have a creative urge.
Some drift into it from the stage, some from other movie jobs. Robert Wise became a director because he was first a movie fan, sitting in the dime matinees Saturday after Saturday as a child. The creative urge stemmed directly from what was on the screen. He wanted to be a part of it. As a boy he was always attending the movies, often as much as three times a week.
