Question: Which film has the director who died earlier, Blast-Off Girls or Emperor Of The North Pole?

Ben Palmer is a British film and television director who is known for being the director of" Bo' Selecta" and" The Inbetweeners". <SEP> It was later re-released on home media( and is more widely known) under the shorter title Emperor of the North, ostensibly chosen by studio executives to avoid being mistaken for a heartwarming holiday story. This original title is an homage to the historic joke among Great Depression- era hobos that the world's best hobo was" Emperor of the North Pole", a way of poking fun at their own desperate situation, since somebody ruling over the North Pole would reign over nothing but a vast, barren, cold, empty, and stark wasteland. The film depicts the story of two hobos' struggle( esp. vs." The Establishment") during the US' Great Depression in 1930s Oregon. Its screenplay is quite significantly inspired by three separate, yet inter-related self- published seminal writings from earlier decades: Jack London's better- known 1907 travel memoir," The Road", and, two lesser- known books, both by legendary hobo" A- No.- 1", pen-name of Leon Ray Livingston," The Trail of the Tramp", and his 1917 travelogue," From Coast to Coast with Jack London". Carradine's character, Cigaret, uses the moniker that Jack London used during his hobo escapades, and like London, is portrayed as a young traveling companion to the older Livingston's A- No.- 1( played by Marvin), but that is where( some assert) the similarity between Carradine's character and Jack London ends, as Cigaret is portrayed in the film as immature, loud- mouthed, and not bright, opposite A- No.- 1's gracious and graceful seasoned veteran. Emperor of the North Pole is a 1973 American DeLuxe Color film directed by Robert Aldrich, starring Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, and Keith Carradine. <SEP> Frances Phipps was a Canadian, and the first woman who reached the North Pole( on April 5, 1971). Phipps grew up in Ottawa, Ontario as Frances Coolin. She was married to the Canadian bush pilot" Weldy" Welland Phipps, who had been her flight instructor, and the couple had nine children. Along with her husband, she founded Atlas Aviation in Resolute Bay, Nunavut, which was at the time the most northerly charter air service in Canada. The Phipps couple flew together to the North Pole in a Twin Otter ski plane to the North Pole, to install a radar beacon and to promote northern travel. Because no woman had been to the North Pole before, Frances' trip was included in the" Guinness Book of World Records". In 1972, Fran and Weldy bought a 48- foot sailboat, and for over a decade traveled the world by sea. Phipps died in July 2013 at New Glasgow, Prince Edward Island. <SEP> Herschell Gordon Lewis( June 15, 1926 – September 26, 2016) was an American filmmaker, best known for creating the" splatter" subgenre of horror films. He is often called the" Godfather of Gore"( a title also given to Lucio Fulci), though his film career included works in a range of exploitation film genres including juvenile delinquent films, nudie-cuties, two children's films and at least one rural comedy. On Lewis' career, All Movie wrote," With his better- known gore films, Herschell Gordon Lewis was a pioneer, going farther than anyone else dared, probing the depths of disgust and discomfort onscreen with more bad taste and imagination than anyone of his era." <SEP> Blast- Off Girls is a 1967 American exploitation film directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis. <SEP> Robert Burgess Aldrich( August 9, 1918 – December 5, 1983) was an American film director, producer, and screenwriter.
