Nationally known film historian Wes D. Gehring explores Wise's life from his days in the Hoosier State to the beginning of his movie career at RKO studios working as the editor Orson Welles's classic Citizen Kane. Wise is best known for producing and directing two of the most memorable movie musicals in cinema history, West Side Story ( codirector Jerome Robbins) and The Sound of Music, for which he won four Academy Awards - two Best Picture and Best Directors Oscars. But, as Gehring notes, other then Howard Hawks, Wise was arguably Hollywood's most versatile director of various celebrated genre films.
