Anyone would have to admit that Robert Wise couldn't be pigeonholed about the kind of movies he made.
In order to honor Wise's career TCM has changed their schedule for Sept. 23 to movies that he was involved in making. What a variety, we lost a great film maker.
6:00 AM Citizen Kane (as editor)
8:00 AM The Magnificent Ambersons (as editor)
9:30 AM The Curse of the Cat People (director)
11:00 AM The Body Snatcher (director)
12:30 PM Born to Kill (director)
