Question: Which film maker, John Frankenheimer or Peter Yates, was older at the time of his death?
Context: Curtain Call is a 1998 romantic comedy directed by Peter Yates, photographed by Sven Nykvist and edited by Hughes Winborne.  It stars James Spader, Polly Walker, Michael Caine and Maggie Smith.  The film was later re-released under the title It All Came True (not to be confused with the completely unrelated 1940 Humphrey Bogart film of the same name).  It was to be Peter Yates' last film made for cinema, although in most markets it went directly to TV or home video. Peter James Yates (24 July 1929 – 9 January 2011) was an English film director and producer.  He was born in Aldershot, Hampshire. Peter Yates (19 July 1920 – 16 November 1982) was a British born artist and architect.  Yates was best known for his partnership with Gordon Ryder in the North of England architectural firm, Ryder and Yates. John Michael Frankenheimer (February 19, 1930 – July 6, 2002) was an American film and television director known for social dramas and action/suspense films.  Among his credits were "Birdman of Alcatraz" (1962), "The Manchurian Candidate" (1962), "Seven Days in May" (1964), "The Train" (1964), "Seconds" (1966), "Grand Prix" (1966), "French Connection II" (1975), "Black Sunday" (1977), and "Ronin" (1998). Ron Hutchinson (born near Lisburn, County Antrim, Northern Ireland) is an Emmy Award winning screenwriter and an Olivier Award nominated playwright, known for writing John Frankenheimer's "Against the Wall", Robert M. Young's "Slave of Dreams", John Frankenheimer's "The Island of Dr. Moreau", "Moonlight and Magnolias" (play), and the 2004 miniseries "Traffic." Path to War is a 2002 American biographical television film, produced by HBO and directed by John Frankenheimer that deals directly with the Vietnam War as seen through the eyes of United States President Lyndon B. Johnson and his cabinet members.  It was the final film (theatrical or made-for-TV) that was directed by Frankenheimer, who died seven weeks after the film debuted on HBO.  It was also the last film produced by Edgar J. Scherick during his lifetime−he died seven months after its initial airing on HBO. Impossible Object, later released as Story of a Love Story, is a 1973 drama film starring Alan Bates and Dominique Sanda.  It was directed by John Frankenheimer with a screenplay by Nicholas Mosley based on his own novel.  It was screened at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, but was not entered into the main competition.  Mosley wrote the screenplay at the behest of director Joseph Losey, whose film "Accident" was based on an earlier Mosley novel.  Dirk Bogarde and Catherine Deneuve had been attached to the film.  However, Losey had difficulty financing the film and later fell out with Mosley over "The Assassination of Trotsky."  Frankenheimer, looking to make an independent film, took over the project. The Manchurian Candidate is a 1962 American black and white neo-noir Cold War suspense thriller film scripted by George Axelrod, from the 1959 Richard Condon novel "The Manchurian Candidate", produced by Axelrod and John Frankenheimer, directed by Frankenheimer, and starring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, and Janet Leigh; co-starring are Angela Lansbury, Henry Silva, and James Gregory.  "The Manchurian Candidate" concerns the brainwashing of the son of a prominent political family, who becomes an unwitting assassin in an international communist conspiracy. All Fall Down is a 1962 American drama film, adapted from the novel "All Fall Down" (1960) by James Leo Herlihy, the author of "Midnight Cowboy" (1965).  It was directed by John Frankenheimer and produced by John Houseman.  The screenplay was adapted from the novel by playwright William Inge and the film starred Eva Marie Saint and Warren Beatty.  Upon its release, the film was a minor box-office hit.  Together with her performance in Frankenheimer's "The Manchurian Candidate" (1962), Angela Lansbury (who played a destructively manipulative mother in both films) won the year's National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actress.  The film was entered in the 1962 Cannes Film Festival. Blake Torney is an American producer, director, actor and entertainer.
