The Merchant of Venice (1923 film)
The Merchant of Venice( German: Der Kaufmann von Venedig) is a 1923 German silent drama film directed by Peter Paul Felner and starring Werner Krauss, Henny Porten and Harry Liedtke.
The film is an adaptation of William Shakespeare's play" The Merchant of Venice".
It was released in the United States in 1926 as The Jew of Mestri.
The film was made on location in Venice, with scenes and characters added which were not in the original play.
This is the surviving copy, being two reels shorter than the German version.
The characters in the German retained Shakespeare's nomenclature, but in the American they were given new names sourced from the Italian work" Il Pecorone", a 14th- century short story collection attributed to Giovanni Fiorentino, from which Shakespeare is believed to have drawn his idea.
The film purports to be a return to the original, as an excuse for its differences from the play.
The Merchant of Venice (2004 film)
The Merchant of Venice is a 2004 tragicomedy film based on Shakespeare's play of the same name.
It is the first full- length sound film in English of Shakespeare's playother versions are videotaped productions which were made for television, including John Sichel's 1973 version and Jack Gold's 1980 BBC production.
The title character is the merchant Antonio( Jeremy Irons), not the Jewish moneylender Shylock( Al Pacino) who is the more prominent character.
This adaptation follows the text, but omits much.
Director Michael Radford believed that Shylock was Shakespeare's first great tragic hero who reaches a catastrophe due to his own flaws.
The film begins with text and a montage of how the Jewish community is abused by the Christian population of Venice and brings attention to the fact that, as a convert, Shylock would have been cast out of the Jewish ghetto in Venice.
A co-production between the United Kingdom, Italy, and Luxembourg," The Merchant of Venice" was screened non-competitively at the 61st edition of the Venice Film Festival on 4 September 2004 in what was touted as its world premiere( the film in fact was screened 3 September 2004 at the Telluride Film Festival).

In Search of Gregory
In Search of Gregory is a 1969 American drama film directed by Peter Wood and starring Julie Christie.
Despite having a big name star like Christie, who at the time was one of the most popular and sought- after actresses in the world, the film only had a limited theatrical release( after being deemed so bad by test audiences that Universal decided not to give the film a wide release), garnering little to no attention.
Christie only agreed to do the film because it was shot on location in the same area that her then- boyfriend, Warren Beatty, was filming" The Only Game in Town" with Elizabeth Taylor.
That film, despite having two big name stars as well, met with a similar fate and was not widely released either.

Question: Are both The Merchant Of Venice (1914 Film) and In Search Of Gregory from the same country?
