American director and producer (1929–2018) who directed six episodes of the original Star Trek, including Balance of Terror and Spectre of the Gun, and later made many family films for Disney.
Vincent McEveety (1929–2018) was an American television and film director whose long career took in westerns such as Gunsmoke and a string of Disney features.
He directed six episodes of the original Star Trek: Miri, Dagger of the Mind and Balance of Terror in the first season, Patterns of Force and The Omega Glory in the second, and Spectre of the Gun in the third.
Balance of Terror, the submarine-style duel that introduced the Romulans, is widely regarded as one of the finest hours of the series, while Spectre of the Gun is remembered for its stark, half-built western town.
