Question: Which film has the director who died earlier, Padosi or Four Steps In The Clouds?

Alessandro Blasetti (3 July 1900 – 1 February 1987) was an Italian film director and screenwriter who influenced Italian neorealism with the film "Quattro passi fra le nuvole". Blasetti was one of the leading figures in Italian cinema during the Fascist era. He is sometimes known as the "father of Italian cinema" because of his role in reviving the struggling industry in the late 1920s. <SEP> The Virtuous Bigamist is a 1956 French- Italian comedy drama film directed by Mario Soldati. It is a remake of Alessandro Blasetti's" Four Steps in the Clouds". <SEP> South of the Clouds is a 2004 Chinese film and the second film directed by the writer Zhu Wen. The film stands in stark contrast to Zhu's previous film. In terms of production," South of the Clouds" received the cooperation of the state apparatus unlike 2001's" Seafood" which was an underground production shot on digital hand- held cameras. In terms of story, the transgressive tale of a prostitute and a policeman in" Seafood" is a far cry from" South of the Cloud"'s gentle tale of a retiree who fulfills a lifelong desire to travel to the southern province of Yunnan( literally" South of the Clouds"). " South of the Clouds" stars Li Xuejian as the protagonist, Xu Daqin, and features a cameo by director Tian Zhuangzhuang as the police chief in a small town in Yunnan. It was produced by China Film Assist, an independent production company in China;" South of the Clouds" was the company's first production. <SEP> He is most known for films such as" Dr. Kotnis Ki Amar Kahani"( 1946)," Amar Bhoopali"( 1951)," Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje"( 1955)," Do Aankhen Barah Haath"( 1957)," Navrang"( 1959)," Duniya Na Mane"( 1937)," Pinjara"( 1972)," ChaniIye Marathiche Nagari" and" Zunj". Shantaram Rajaram Vankudre( 18 November 1901 – 30 October 1990), referred to as V. Shantaram or Shantaram Bapu, was an Indian Marathi filmmaker, film producer and actor. <SEP> Four Steps in the Clouds is a 1942 Italian comedy- drama film directed by Alessandro Blasetti, starring Gino Cervi and Adriana Benetti. It tells the story of a married man who agrees to act as the husband of a young pregnant woman who has been abandoned by her boyfriend. Aesthetically, it is close to Italian neorealism. The film's sets were designed by Virgilio Marchi. It was nominated for BAFTA as Best Film from any Source. The movie was remade in 1995 as" A Walk in the Clouds". <SEP> Shejari( Marathi: शेजारी) is also known as Padosi in Hindi version as( पड़ोसी, پڑوسی" Neighbour"). Padosi is a 1941 Hindi social drama film directed by V. Shantaram. It was produced by Prabhat Film Company and the bilingual film in Marathi and Hindi was the last film Shantaram made for Prabhat before venturing to form his Rajkamal Kalamandir. The film is cited as one of the three social classics Shantaram made at Prabhat. The other two were" Duniya Na Mane"( 1937) and" Aadmi"( 1939). The story and dialogue were by Vishram Bedekar in the Marathi version, while the dialogues in the Hindi version were by Pandit Sudarshan, who also wrote the lyrics. The music director was Master Krishnarao. The famous character artist Radhakrishan made his acting debut in the film as a villain. The film starred Mazhar Khan, Gajanan Jagirdar, Anees Khatoon, Radha Kishan, Lajwanti, Sumitra, Gopal and Balak Ram. The story concentrated on the topical issue of Hindu- Muslim unity, making a" strong plea" for it. The film was made against the backdrop of communal tension at the formation of the Muslim League. Shantaram attempted a theme showing amicable relations between the Hindus and the Muslims. To achieve a better geniality, he had Mazhar Khan, a Muslim playing a Hindu and Gajanan Jagirdar, a Hindu play the Muslim character. With his trio of social films and especially" Padosi", Shantaram has been cited by author Bajaj as the third best pre -1960 director in the top ten rating, following P. C. Barua for" Devdas"( 1935) and Homi Wadia for" Miss Frontier Mail"( 1936), followed by Mehboob Khan for" Mother India"( 1957).
