We're on the same page here. Wise had some dodgy moments with The Hindenburg and Star Trek: The Motion Picture, but for my buck Wise certainly was underated as a director. Robert Wise fitted into the same league of directors like Richard Fleischer. Both director's are similar, and often struggled for total recognition amongst they're Hollywood pier's for a time. Wise was exceptionally talented suspense and thrillers, and Fleischer for action/drama direction. Just look at the highly underated Audery Rose that Wise directed in 1977 and the enjoyable Sand Pebbles with Steve McQueen. Robert Wise certainly deserved more recognition. I still love The Day The Earth Stood Still.
