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. Robert Earl Wise (September 10, 1914 – September 14, 2005) was an American film director, producer, and editor. 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> Ince was known as the" Father of the Western" and was responsible for making over 800 films. He revolutionized the motion picture industry by creating the first major Hollywood studio facility and invented movie production by introducing the" assembly line" system of filmmaking. He was the first mogul to build his own film studio dubbed" Inceville" in Palisades Highlands. Ince was also instrumental in developing the role of the producer in motion pictures. Two of his films," The Italian"( 1915), for which he wrote the screenplay, and" Civilization"( 1916), which he directed, were selected for preservation by the National Film Registry. He later entered into a partnership with D. W. Griffith and Mack Sennett to form the Triangle Motion Picture Company, whose studios are the present- day site of Sony Pictures. He then built a new studio about a mile from Triangle, which is now the site of Culver Studios. Ince's untimely death at the height of his career, after he became severely ill aboard the private yacht of media tycoon William Randolph Hearst, has caused much speculation, although the official cause of his death was heart failure. Thomas Harper Ince( November 16, 1880 – November 19, 1924) was an American silent film producer, director, screenwriter, and actor. <SEP> Gene Barry( born Eugene Klass, June 14, 1919 – December 9, 2009) was an American stage, screen, and television actor. Barry is best remembered for his leading roles in the films" The Atomic City"( 1952) and" The War of The Worlds"( 1953) and for his portrayal of the title characters in the TV series" Bat Masterson" and" Burke's Law", among many roles. <SEP> The Toast of Death is a 1915 silent era drama/ romance motion picture released by Mutual Film Corporation starring Louise Glaum, Harry Keenan, and Herschel Mayall. Although contemporary sources list Thomas Ince as the director, modern sources give directorial credit to Scott Sidney. One of the early five- reel feature length silent movies," The Toast of Death" was filmed at Inceville Studio in Topanga Canyon near the Pacific Ocean. The film marked Glaum's first role as a" vamp" and her first starring role in the new features of the day. Directed by Thomas H. Ince and produced by the New York Motion Picture Company, the screenplay was written by C. Gardner Sullivan. <SEP> Edward Vincent Sullivan ( September 28, 1901 – October 13, 1974) was an American television personality, impresario, sports and entertainment reporter, and syndicated columnist for the" New York Daily News" and the Chicago Tribune New York News Syndicate. He is principally remembered as the creator and host of the television variety program" The Toast of the Town", later popularly —and, eventually, officially —renamed" The Ed Sullivan Show". Broadcast for 23 years from 1948 to 1971, it set a record as the longest- running variety show in US broadcast history. " It was, by almost any measure, the last great TV show," said television critic David Hinckley. " It's one of our fondest, dearest pop culture memories." Sullivan was a broadcasting pioneer at many levels during television's infancy. As TV critic David Bianculli wrote," Before MTV, Sullivan presented rock acts. Before Bravo, he presented jazz and classical music and theater. Before the Comedy Channel, even before there was" the Tonight Show", Sullivan discovered, anointed and popularized young comedians. Before there were 500 channels, before there was cable, Ed Sullivan was where the choice was. From the start, he was indeed' the Toast of the Town'." In 1996, Sullivan was ranked number 50 on" TV Guide"'s" 50 Greatest TV Stars of All Time". <SEP> The Captive City is a 1952 American film noir crime film directed by Robert Wise and starring John Forsythe. The screenplay is based on real life experiences of" Time" magazine reporter Alvin M. Josephy, Jr., who co-wrote the script.
