Question: Do both films: Il Ragazzo Del Pony Express and Boycott (1930 Film) have the directors from the same country?

Il ragazzo del Pony Express is a 1986 Italian comedy film. It marked the directorial debut of Franco Amurri. <SEP> Robert Land( 1887–1942) was an Austrian- Czech film director. <SEP> Umberto Smaila( born 26 June 1950) is an Italian actor, composer, comedian, television personality, entrepreneur and musician. Born in Verona, in the early- 1970s Smaila co-founded together with Jerry Calà, Franco Oppini and Ninì Salerno a cabaret- ensemble," i gatti di Vicolo Miracoli". The group, reduced to three components since 1982, appeared on several successful TV programs and films and released several songs. After the disbandment of the group Smaila was the television presenter of a number of quiz and variety shows, most notably the late night show. In nineties he founded the" U.S. Band", an orchestra with whom he was cast in several television programs. As a composer, Smaila signed the musical scores of several genre films including" Beast with a Gun"( 1977)," Il ragazzo del pony express"( 1986)," Sweets from a Stranger"( 1987)," Delitti e profumi"( 1988) and" Chicken Park"( 1994).

Smaila also wrote and directed a musical comedy film," Italian Boys", released in 1982. He is the founder of the brand Smaila's, a chain of restaurants and nightclubs specialized in live music. <SEP> Johnny Fry ( 1840 – October 6, 1863) was the first" official" westbound rider of the Pony Express. Fry was born in Bourbon County, Kentucky to John Fry and Mary Fry. Mary moved with her son and new husband Benjamin Wells to Rushville, Missouri around 1857. Fry, who weighed less than 120 pounds, was assigned to the first leg of the westbound route of the Pony Express delivering it from the stables in St. Joseph, Missouri a few blocks to a ferry across the Missouri River before carrying it on to Seneca, Kansas. Ads for the Pony Express said," Wiry young men, preferably orphans to ride 20 miles ..." While there are no photographs of the start of the Pony Express, the old tin-type of Johnny Fry standing next to Johnson William Richardson in a sailor's hat and jacket, with Charlie Cliff and his brother Gus Cliff pictures the riders hired by Lewis for Russell, Majors, and Waddell. The start of the Pony Express was delayed two hours to 7:15 p.m. because the courier from the East Coast had missed a train connection. Fry was the scheduled official first rider on April 3, 1860. Years later, a W. B. Richardson( 1851–1946) claimed to be the Pony Express rider denied the honor, in an article titled" Uncle Billy Richardson, 91 Today, Disclaims Fame." W. B., who would have been about nine or ten years old the day of the historic ride, boasts that his half- brother Paul Coburn, who was the station manager," accidentally" threw the" mail pouch" on his pony instead of Fry's horse and so he made the ride. Supposedly, Richardson rode the first blocks from the stables to the river, where the pouch was handed to Fry, who rode the ferry to Elwood, Kansas and then took it on to Seneca, Kansas. Fry was to deliver the first eastbound mail back to St. Joseph. W. B. Richardson's recollection contradicts all historical accounts. Clearly, as the accompanying picture shows, J. W. Richardson, the actual rider, was not W. B. Richardson, a nine- or ten- year- old boy, but a grown man when he was hired by Lewis for Russell, Majors, and Waddell. He rode for the company until the Transcontinental Telegraph went into service. According to his relatives, he rode on to Fort Laramie and died later that year. Local lore says that the do nut was invented as a cake for Fry to eat, passed to him by young ladies, as he rode past their homes. After the Pony Express went out of business in October 1861, due to the advent of the transcontinental telegraph, Fry joined the Union Army and was killed by Quantrill's Raiders in the Battle of Baxter Springs. <SEP> The film's sets were designed by the art director Ludwig Reiber. Boycott is a 1930 German drama film directed by Robert Land and starring Ernst Stahl- Nachbaur, Lil Dagover and Rolf von Goth.
