Wise was the president of the Directors Guild of America from 1971 to 1975 and the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences from 1984 through 1987.
Robert Wise has been viewed as a craftsman, inclined to let the (sometimes studio-assigned) story concept set the style.
Later "cineastes", such as Martin Scorsese, insist that despite Wise's legendary workaday concentration on stylistic perfection within the confines of genre and budget, his choice of subject matter and approach still functioned to identify Wise as an artist and not merely an artisan.
Wise achieved critical success as a director in a striking variety of film genres: horror, noir, western, war, science fiction, musical and drama, with many repeat successes within each genre.
Wise's meticulous preparation may have been largely motivated by studio budget constraints, but advanced the moviemaking art.
Robert Wise received the AFI Life Achievement Award in 1998.
