Question: Do both films A Yank At Oxford and Thieves Quartet have the directors that share the same nationality?

Thieves Quartet is a 1994 thriller film directed by Joe Chappelle and starring Michele Cole and James Denton. <SEP> Jack Ryan Conway (July 17, 1887 – October 11, 1952) was an American film director and film producer, as well as an actor of many films in the first half of the 20th century. <SEP> A Yank at Eton is an American comedy- drama film directed by Norman Taurog and starring Mickey Rooney, Ian Hunter, and Peter Lawford. Released in 1942, it is a kind of junior version of the 1938 British- made hit film" A Yank at Oxford". ( Edmund Gwenn, who played a school official in the earlier film, has a similar role in this one.) With the United Kingdom at war," A Yank at Eton" was filmed entirely in the United States. " A Yank at Eton" tells the tale of a cocky American youth( played by Rooney) who has to move to Britain, where he is sent to attend the elite Eton College. Lawford, in his first significant Hollywood role, plays an arrogant upperclassman who makes the newcomer's life particularly difficult. Much of the storyline relates to the misunderstandings arising from differences between the two countries' cultures, customs and language. At first these differences cause the boy confusion and anger, particularly against the traditional practices of fagging and physical hazing inflicted at Eton on the lower boys by the uppers. The film caricatures Etonian manners and behavior as snobbish and stuffy, but in due course Rooney's character settles down, stops being rebellious and comes to realize that, beneath the different habits and views," Yanks" and" Limeys" have basic values in common and can get along when they have to. The propaganda intent, as U.S. troops poured into the U.K. to join World War II in 1942, was evidently to show that Americans and Britons could set aside their superficial differences and pull together in the war effort. The film has the Eton boating song as it s theme tune( played at a faster tempo than usual), though no boating is shown in the film. <SEP> Matt Corboy( born June 4, 1973) is an American actor. He has appeared in both films and television series. <SEP> The screenplay was written by John Monk Saunders and Leon Gordon. The film was produced by Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer British Studios at Denham Studios. " A Yank at Oxford" marks Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor ’s first film appearance together; they would later appear as the romantic lead couple in the remake of" Waterloo Bridge"( 1940). A Yank at Oxford( 1938) is a British film directed by Jack Conway and starring Robert Taylor, Lionel Barrymore, Maureen O' Sullivan, Vivien Leigh and Edmund Gwenn. Before this film, Taylor was seen as the" romantic love interest" and thus as a 1930s equivalent to Rudolph Valentino, with men therefore starting to doubt Taylor's masculinity. His casting in this film( by Mayer) was a successful attempt to put paid to such doubts, and dramatically boosted his reputation with both men and women. <SEP> He is perhaps best known for his work on the critically acclaimed HBO series" The Wire", where he directed six episodes and served as co-executive producer for three seasons. In 2018, his episode" Middle Ground" was named the 6th Best TV Episode of the Century by pop culture website The Ringer. Joseph" Joe" Chappelle is an American screenwriter, producer, and director of film and television. He has also produced and directed several other popular cable television programs, including," Fringe" and" Chicago Fire". Chappelle wrote and directed the political thriller" An Acceptable Loss", starring Tika Sumpter and Jamie Lee Curtis, which was released by IFC Films in January 2019.
