The Sound of Disappointment,
By Alan Breck (Jersey City, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robert Wise on His Films: From Editing Room to Director's Chair (Paperback)
This, the only widely available volume on the great films of Robert Wise, is a tremendous disappointment. Each film receives its own chapter consisting of photos and a brief quotation from Wise himself. Although some chapters are informative,Wise's comments often seem distant and non-committal, as if he were hesitant to reveal his true feelings about the films he made and the people with whom he worked. Most tragically, these miniscule quotations do not enrich the experience of viewing the films themselves. Both Robert Wise and his vast body of work deserve a lengthy biography and detailed critical study. Unfortunately, this is neither.
