Odds Against Tomorrow
Odds Against Tomorrow is a 1959 film noir produced and directed by Robert Wise and starring Harry Belafonte.

Blacklisted in those years, Polonsky had to use a front and John O. Killens was credited.
Polonsky's screenwriting credit was restored in 1996 in his own name.
"Odds Against Tomorrow" was the last time that Wise shot black-and-white film in the standard aspect ratio, a technique that gave his films a "gritty realism".

Robert Wise
Robert Earl Wise (September 10, 1914 – September 14, 2005) was an American film director, producer, and editor.
He won Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Picture for both "West Side Story" (1961) and "The Sound of Music" (1965).
He was also nominated for Best Film Editing for "Citizen Kane" (1941) and directed and produced "The Sand Pebbles" (1966), which was nominated for Best Picture.
Among his other films are "The Body Snatcher" (1945), "Born to Kill" (1947), "The Set-Up" (1949), "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (1951), "Destination Gobi" (1953),
"This Could Be The Night" (1957), "Run Silent, Run Deep" (1958), "I Want to Live!"
(1958), "The Haunting" (1963),
"The Andromeda Strain" (1971), "The Hindenburg" (1975) and  (1979).
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.
