Biography
British writer/producer Aubrey Wisberg made his screen debut in 1941 with the screenplay of So Dark the Night. His 1951 science fiction thriller The Man From Planet X, which he wrote as well as produced, proved an extremely popular and enduring classic within the genre. During the late '50s and early '60s, Wisberg engaged in television as well as film production; his most notable movie is probably the science fiction adventure Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964), a very well-made film that has found a wide audience in the 30 years since its release, and which was given a special release on laserdisc in 1994. ~ Bruce Eder, All Movie Guide
