NOIR

American film director, producer and editor with unusual flexibility in different genres (1914-2005).

Wise was a master craftsman that conveyed reality in his films through the composition , editing and pace . He was nominated for Best Director 3 times and won 2 of them.
Four of his movies made it to our All-Time Best Films list, among them two dramas, but he is probably remembered better for his musicals.
