Master of the World
1961
98 Min
Synopsis
Aloft in his airship — the zeppelin-like &NFi;Albatross&NFi_; — the renegade Capt. Robur (Vincent Price) is on a mission to bring stability to the world. But his technique is slightly unconventional in that he uses weapons of war to wage peace. Screenwriter Richard Matheson based this adventure-filled sci-fi classic on the Jules Verne novels &NFi;Master of the World&NFi_; and &NFi;Robur the Conqueror&NFi_;. Charles Bronson co-stars.
Director
William Witney
William Nuelsen Witney (15 May 1915 – 17 March 2002) was an American film and television director. He is best remembered for the movie serials he co-directed with John English for Republic Pictures such as Daredevils of the Red Circle, Zorro’s Fighting Legion and Drums of Fu Manchu.
He directed many Westerns during his career, and is credited with devising the modern system of filming movie fight sequences in a series of carefully choreographed shots, which he patterned after the musical sequences of American director Busby Berkeley. Prolific and pugnacious, Witney began directing while still in his 20s, and continued until 1982.
Quentin Tarantino singles out Witney as one of his favorite directors, particularly for The Golden Stallion (1949), a Roy Rogers vehicle. Witney also directed Master of the World (1961) starring Vincent Price and Charles Bronson. —Wikipedia
