Question: What nationality is the director of film The French, They Are A Funny Race?
Sentence (from "Preston Sturges"): Prior to Sturges, other figures in Hollywood (such as Charlie Chaplin, D. W. Griffith, and Frank Capra) had directed films from their own scripts, however Sturges is often regarded as the first Hollywood figure to establish success as a screenwriter and then move into directing his own scripts, at a time when those roles were separate.
Relevant evidence: No
