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. Robert Earl Wise (September 10, 1914 – September 14, 2005) was an American film director, producer, and editor. 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. <SEP> Run Silent, Run Deep is a 1958 American black- and- white war film from United Artists. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Commander( later Captain) Edward L. Beach Jr.. The title refers to" silent running", a submarine stealth tactic. It was produced by Harold Hecht, directed by Robert Wise, and starred Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster. The story describes World War II submarine warfare in the Pacific Ocean, and deals with themes of vengeance, endurance, courage, loyalty, and honor and how these can be tested during wartime. In addition to Gable and Lancaster playing the leads, the film also features Jack Warden, as well as the film debut of Don Rickles. United Artists promoted" Run Silent, Run Deep" as a combination of the obsessiveness of" Moby Dick"'s Captain Ahab and the shipboard rivalry found in" Mutiny on the Bounty". Capt. Beach, the author of the book, did not think highly of the film. He later said that the film company bought only the book title and was not interested in producing an accurate depiction of the theme and plot of his novel. <SEP> The Gambler Wore a Gun is a 1961 Western film.
