Question: Which film has the director died earlier, Smiley Gets A Gun or Frankenstein And The Monster From Hell?

Wilbur Patey Sampson( 16 September 191428 April 1958) was an Australian composer, conductor and musician active from the mid 1930s. Sampson wrote music for a number of movies produced in the 1940s and 1950s starring Chips Rafferty or Charles Tingwell, including Always Another Dawn, Into the Straight, King of the Coral Sea and Smiley Gets a Gun. <SEP> He was the first to bring gothic horror alive in full colour, and the sexual overtones and explicit horror in his films, while mild by modern standards, were unprecedented in his day. His first major gothic horror film was" The Curse of Frankenstein"( 1957), which launched Hammer's association with the genre and made British actors Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee leading horror stars of the era. He went on to film several adaptations of classic horror subjects, including" Dracula"( 1958)," The Mummy"( 1959), and" The Curse of the Werewolf"( 1961). Given their subject matter and lurid approach, Fisher's films, though commercially successful, were largely dismissed by critics during his career. It is only in recent years that Fisher has become recognised as an" auteur" in his own right. His most famous films are characterised by a blend of fairytale myth and the supernatural alongside themes of sexuality, morality, and ‘ the charm of evil ’. Drawing heavily on a Christian conservative outlook, there is often a hero who defeats the powers of darkness by a combination of faith in God and reason, in contrast to other characters, who are either blindly superstitious or bound by cold, godless rationalism. For detailed discussions of Fisher's work, see" Terence Fisher: Horror, Myth, and Religion" by Paul Leggett( McFarland and Co, 2002)," British Film Makers: Terence Fisher" by Peter Hutchings( Manchester University Press, 2013), and" The Films of Terence Fisher: Hammer Horror and Beyond" by Wheeler Winston Dixon( Auteur Publishing, 2017). Terence Fisher( 23 February 1904 – 18 June 1980) was a British film director best known for his work for Hammer Films. <SEP> Philip Voss( born 1936) is a British stage, radio, film and television actor who has been active since the 1960s.
