Abstract

In The Day the Earth Stood Still, director Robert Wise takes advantage of the film's Washington, DC, locale. Moving back and forth between the national icons of Washington and the workaday world of ordinary Washingtonians, Wise depicts post-World War II Washington as a site of ideological struggle.
