What do the legendary movie musicals West Side Story and The Sound of Music have in common with classic horror and science fiction films like The Haunting or The Day the Earth Stood Still? The logical answer should be nothing other than the fact that they are all great movies, but, surprisingly, the answer is that they were all made by the same director: Robert Wise. In this latest course in our Great Directors series, students will have an opportunity to learn about the career of this master filmmaker and will get to watch and discuss some of his greatest films.
