Question: Do both The Young Don'T Cry and The Stranger (1946 Film) films have the directors from the same country?

The Stranger is a series of direct- to- video( and audio CD) science- fiction dramas produced by BBV and starring Colin Baker. They are now available on DVD. The series began in 1991 with" Summoned by Shadows", co-produced with the BBC Film Club as a knowing homage to the long- running British science fiction television series" Doctor Who"( of which BBV founder Bill Baggs was a fan) and in a pragmatic attempt to take advantage of the consequent pre-existing audience. " Summoned by Shadows" is a" Who"- style tale of strange doings in an unspecified time period on Earth featuring three actors known for their roles in" Doctor Who" and playing similar characters. The unnamed protagonist( listed in the credits as" The Stranger") is played by Colin Baker, his assistant Miss Brown by Nicola Bryant, who had played the Doctor's assistant Peri Brown opposite Colin Baker for two years, and the villain of the piece by Michael Wisher, who had been the first actor to play Davros. The second story," More than a Messiah", adapted the" Doctor Who" Audio Visuals story of the same name, but with the Stranger and Miss Brown substituted for the Doctor and companion Ria( who was modelled after Peri). In a further connection, it co-starred Sophie Aldred, better known as Ace from" Doctor Who", and Peter Miles, who had co-starred( opposite Wisher) in the TV serial" Genesis of the Daleks" – both in completely different roles. " In Memory Alone", the third film, found the Stranger and Miss Brown stranded without their mysterious transport( never seen) in a desolate train station with amnesia, and battling a robot and a mysterious man played by Nicholas Briggs( who also wrote the film along with others in the" Stranger" series). Most releases of this film( including VHS) include a behind- the- scenes featurette and a blooper reel. While the first three may be( and often were) taken as" Doctor Who" by another name, the departure of the Miss Brown character( for which Nicola Bryant does not speak with Peri Brown's American accent) and the Stranger himself being likewise" returned to his proper time and place" at the story's conclusion allowed for a move to clarify" The Stranger"'s status as separate work of fiction and developed an identity of its own. The adventures of the Stranger ran in all to six videos( and four audio dramas, although the second audio drama was much the same as the sixth video). <SEP> Laurie Weeks is a writer and performer based in New York City. Her fiction and essays have been published extensively. She is best known as the screenwriter of "Boys Don't Cry", and is the Lambda Literary Award-winning author of the novel "Zipper Mouth." <SEP> The Young Do n't Cry is a 1957 American drama film directed by Alfred L. Werker and starring Sal Mineo, James Whitmore and J. Carrol Naish. <SEP> He is considered one of the greatest film directors of all time. While in his twenties Welles directed a number of high- profile stage productions for the Federal Theatre Project, including an adaptation of" Macbeth" with an entirely African American cast and the political musical" The Cradle Will Rock". In 1937 he and John Houseman founded the Mercury Theatre, an independent repertory theatre company that presented a series of productions on Broadway through 1941, including" Caesar"( 1937), a Broadway adaptation of William Shakespeare's" Julius Caesar". In 1938, his radio anthology series" The Mercury Theatre on the Air" gave Welles the platform to find international fame as the director and narrator of a radio adaptation of H. G. Wells's novel" The War of the Worlds", which caused widespread panic because many listeners thought that an invasion by extraterrestrial beings was actually occurring. Although some contemporary sources say these reports of panic were mostly false and overstated, they rocketed Welles to notoriety. His first film was" Citizen Kane"( 1941), which is consistently ranked as one of the greatest films ever made, which he co-wrote, produced, directed and starred in as Charles Foster Kane. Welles released twelve other features, the most acclaimed of which include" The Magnificent Ambersons"( 1942)," The Lady from Shanghai"( 1947)," Touch of Evil"( 1958)," The Trial"( 1962)," Chimes at Midnight"( 1966) and" F for Fake"( 1973). Welles was an outsider to the studio system, and struggled for creative control on his projects early on with the major film studios in Hollywood and later in life with a variety of independent financiers across Europe, where he spent most of his career. Many of his films were either heavily edited or remained unreleased. Some, like" Touch of Evil", have been painstakingly re-edited from his notes. With a development spanning almost 50 years, Welles's final film," The Other Side of the Wind", was released in 2018. His distinctive directorial style featured layered and nonlinear narrative forms, uses of lighting such as chiaroscuro, unusual camera angles, sound techniques borrowed from radio, deep focus shots and long takes. He has been praised as" the ultimate auteur". Welles had three marriages, including one with Rita Hayworth, and three children. George Orson Welles( May 6, 1915 – October 10, 1985) was an American actor, director, writer and producer who is remembered for his innovative work in radio, theatre and film. Known for his baritone voice, Welles performed extensively across theatre, radio and film. He was a lifelong magician noted for presenting troop variety shows in the war years. In 2002 he was voted the greatest film director of all time in two British Film Institute polls among directors and critics. He was also included in the list of the 50 greatest Hollywood actors of all time by The Telegraph UK. <SEP> Alfred L. Werker( December 2, 1896 – July 28, 1975) was a film director whose work in movies spanned from 1917 through 1957. After a number of film production jobs and assistant directing, Werker co-directed his first film," Ridin' the Wind" in 1925 alongside director Del Andrews. He was brought in by Fox Film Corporation executives to re-shoot and re-edit Erich von Stroheim's film" Hello, Sister!"( 1933), co-starring Boots Mallory and ZaSu Pitts. The following year, Werker was nominated for, but did not win, the Directors Guild of America Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Motion Pictures for" Lost Boundaries"( 1949). Most of Werker's work is unremarkable, but a few were well received by critics. Those films included" House of Rothschild"( 1934) and" The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes"( 1939); the latter film is considered one of the best in the Sherlock Holmes series. During the early 1940s, he directed a number of comedies including Laurel& Hardy's" A- Haunting We Will Go"( 1942). In the late 1940s, Werker worked for the B-picture film studio Eagle- Lion Films. Notable films from that period include the unique mystery thriller" Repeat Performance"( 1947) and" He Walked by Night"( 1948). The latter film, however, was taken over by uncredited director Anthony Mann. In 1949" He Walked By Night" won the Locarno International Film Festival's award for Best Police Film. <SEP> The Stranger is a 1946 American film noir starring Edward G. Robinson, Loretta Young, and Orson Welles. It is Welles's third completed feature film as director and his first film noir, about a war crimes investigator tracking a high- ranking Nazi fugitive to a Connecticut town. It is the first Hollywood film to present documentary footage of the Holocaust. The original story by Victor Trivas was nominated for an Academy Award. The film entered the public domain when its copyright was not renewed.
