Great sadness. Robert Wise died yesterday at the age of 91. He was the director of West Side Story, The Sound of Music, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, The Andromeda Strain, and The Day The Earth Stood Still, as well as the editor of Citizen Kane, The Magnificent Ambersons, and Laughton's Hunchback.

Yes, sad. He was a damned fine director.

"Day the Earth Stood Still" still stands on my list of Best All Time SF Films

Sad? About what?

He lived to be 91 and left behind an impressive body of work.

All in all I'd call him a bloody lucky bastard!
