Question: Who was the director for Semi-Tough, a 1977 American comedy film starring the actress who portrayed Rosa Klebb in one of the James Bond movies?
Context: Casino Royale is a 1967 spy comedy film originally produced by Columbia Pictures featuring an ensemble cast.  It is loosely based on Ian Fleming's first James Bond novel.  The film stars David Niven as the "original" Bond, Sir James Bond 007.  Forced out of retirement to investigate the deaths and disappearances of international spies, he soon battles the mysterious Dr. Noah and SMERSH.  The film's tagline: "Casino Royale is too much... for one James Bond!"  refers to Bond's ruse to mislead SMERSH in which six other agents are pretending to be "James Bond", namely, baccarat master Evelyn Tremble (Peter Sellers), millionaire spy Vesper Lynd (Ursula Andress), Bond's secretary Miss Moneypenny (Barbara Bouchet), Mata Bond (Joanna Pettet), Bond's daughter by Mata Hari; and British agents "Coop" (Terence Cooper) and "The Detainer" (Daliah Lavi). Spy Hard is a 1996 American spy comedy film parody starring Leslie Nielsen and Nicollette Sheridan, parodying James Bond movies and other action films.  The introduction to the movie is sung by comedy artist "Weird Al" Yankovic.  It is the first film to be written by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer.  The film's title is a pun of "Die Hard".  The film is directed by Rick Friedberg and produced by Doug Draizin and Jeffery Knovitz. Colonel Rosa Klebb is a fictional character and the main antagonist from the James Bond 1963 film and 1957 novel "From Russia with Love".  She was played by Lotte Lenya in the film version.  Her name is a pun on the popular Soviet phrase for women's rights, "khleb i rozy" (Cyrillic: хлеб и розы), which in turn was a direct Russian translation of the internationally used labour union slogan "bread and roses". A Letter from Ulster is a 1942 documentary by Ulster-born movie director Brian Desmond Hurst who, along with his lifelong friend Terence Young (scriptwriter) and fellow Ulsterman and Assistant Director William (Bill) MacQuitty, created this film promoting a sense of community between the people of Northern Ireland and over one hundred thousand troops from the US based in Northern Ireland at the time.  Hurst went on to become one of Northern Ireland's most prominent film director and Young went on to direct the early Bond movies "Dr. No", "From Russia With Love" and "Thunderball".  William MacQuitty went on to direct the "Titanic" film "A Night to Remember". Ian Fleming, the writer who created the fictional character James Bond, lived to see the success of his novels depicted on screen before he died.  All fourteen books in the series created by Fleming went on to be huge successes on screen.  Goldfinger, one of the most epic stories in the James Bond saga, became a fan favorite with Shirley Bassey singing the iconic song, Goldfinger, that was played for the fiftieth anniversary of the Bond series at the Oscars in 2012.  Bond was played by Sean Connery and George Lazenby in the movies shot throughout the 60s.  The Bond movies were filmed all across the world and by different directors each time, with some of the old directors collaborating with the new ones.  The success of each Bond film lead to bigger budget prices for the following films adapted to the big screen.  Each movie recovered its budget and won critically acclaimed awards the years that they came out.  Of all the Bond films in cinema today, Thunderball is the most successful movie with the whole Bond series being the third highest grossing of all time in Hollywood cinema. Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine is a 1965 American International Pictures comedy film, made in Pathécolor, directed by Norman Taurog.  It stars Vincent Price, Frankie Avalon, Dwayne Hickman, Susan Hart and Jack Mullaney, and features Fred Clark.  It's a parody of the then-popular spy movie trend (the title is a spoof of two James Bond movies: the 1961 film "Dr. No" and the 1964 hit "Goldfinger"), made using actors from AIP's beach party and Edgar Allan Poe films. Semi-Tough is a 1977 American comedy film directed by Michael Ritchie and starring Burt Reynolds, Kris Kristofferson, Jill Clayburgh, Robert Preston, Lotte Lenya and Bert Convy.  It is set in the world of American professional football. Kulbhushan Kharbanda is an Indian actor, who works in Hindi and Punjabi films.  He is best known for his role as the antagonist Shakaal in "Shaan" (1980), inspired by the character Blofeld from James Bond movies.  Starting off with the Delhi-based theatre group "Yatrik" in the 1960s, he then moved to films with Sai Paranjpye's "Jadu Ka Shankh" in 1974.  He worked in several parallel cinema films before working in the mainstream Hindi film industry.  He later appeared in Mahesh Bhatt's classic "Arth" (1982), "Ek Chadar Maili Si" (1986), and in all three parts of Deepa Mehta's Elements trilogy; "Fire" (1996), "Earth" (1998), and "Water" (2005). Lotte Lenya (18 October 1898 – 27 November 1981) was an Austrian singer, diseuse, and actress, long based in the United States.  In the German-speaking and classical music world she is best remembered for her performances of the songs of her husband, Kurt Weill.  In English-language cinema, she was nominated for an Academy Award for her role as a jaded aristocrat in "The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone" (1961).  She also played the murderous and sadistic Rosa Klebb in the James Bond movie "From Russia with Love" (1963). Bede Aircraft Corporation was founded by controversial aeronautical engineer Jim Bede in 1961 to produce the BD-1 kit aircraft, which eventually became the American Aviation Corporation's AA-1.  The company also created and produced a number of advanced kit planes including the famous Bede BD-5 (pusher propeller driven) and BD-5J (turbojet driven).  The BD-5J has held the Guinness record as the World's Smallest Jet Aircraft for more than a quarter century.  Versions of it saw use in various Budweiser commercials (the Bud Light Jet, which was lost in an inflight fire and crash unrelated to airshow work).  The tiny jet also appeared in two James Bond movies; "Octopussy" starring Sir Roger Moore, and later in a cameo appearance, hanging from the wall of Q's workshop in "Die Another Day" starring Pierce Brosnan as Agent 007.
