RIP Joseph Pevney (1911-2008)

Prolific film and TV director Joseph Pevney died on May 18 in Palm Desert, California at age 96.

Among the films that Pevney directed: Tammy and the Bachelor (1957) the James Cagney vehicle, Man of a Thousand Faces (1957) and Westerns such as The Plunderers (1960)

Pevney also helmed multiple episodes of noted television series, including "Bonanza" "The Incredible Hulk" , and "Trapper John, M.D."

But it was his work on the original "Star Trek"-helming 14 episodes, including "Arena", The Devil in the Dark" "The Trouble with Tribbles and The City on the Edge of Forever"--that I will never forget.

Here's a classic scene from "City":
