Question: Which film has the director died first, Monte Carlo or Bust! or A Nearly Decent Girl?

Kenneth Cooper" Ken" Annakin, OBE( 10 August 1914 – 22 April 2009) was a prolific English film director. His career spanned half a century, beginning in the early 1940s and ending in 2002. His career peaked in the 1960s with large- scale adventure films and in all he directed nearly 50 pictures. <SEP> Ladislao Vajda( born Weisz László; 18 August 1906, Budapest – 25 March 1965, Barcelona) was a Hungarian film director who made films in Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Italy and Germany. <SEP> Monte Carlo or Bust! is a 1969 British/ French/ Italian co-production comedy film, also known by its American title, Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies. The story is based on the Monte Carlo Rally – first raced in 1911 – and the film recalls this general era, set in the 1920s. A lavish all- star film( Paramount put$ 10 million behind it), it is the story of an epic car rally across Europe that involves a lot of eccentric characters from all over the world who will stop at nothing to win. The film is a sequel to the 1965 hit" Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines". Terry- Thomas appeared as Sir Cuthbert Ware- Armitage, the equally dastardly son of the Sir Percy Ware- Armitage, which Thomas had played in the earlier film. Some others of the cast from the first film returned, including Gert Fröbe and Eric Sykes. The title tune is performed by Jimmy Durante. The credits sequence animation was the work of Ronald Searle, who was also featured in Annakin's earlier" Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines". Tony Curtis and Susan Hampshire played other contestants in the race; Curtis also starred in the similar period- piece comedy" The Great Race"( 1965) from Warner Bros. Like the earlier film, it was written by Ken Annakin and Jack Davies and directed by Annakin, with music by Ron Goodwin. The film was originally intended to be called" Rome or Bust". The American distributors Paramount Pictures re-titled it" Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies" to tie it to Annakin's 1965 film; re-editing also meant cuts, up to a half- hour, from the original UK release. <SEP> A Nearly Decent Girl is a 1963 West German- Spanish comedy film directed by Ladislao Vajda and starring Liselotte Pulver, Alberto de Mendoza and Martin Held. <SEP> In numerical analysis, the quasi-Monte Carlo method is a method for numerical integration and solving some other problems using low-discrepancy sequences (also called quasi-random sequences or sub-random sequences). This is in contrast to the regular Monte Carlo method or Monte Carlo integration, which are based on sequences of pseudorandom numbers. Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods are stated in a similar way. The problem is to approximate the integral of a function "f" as the average of the function evaluated at a set of points "xx":
Since we are integrating over the "s"-dimensional unit cube, each "x" is a vector of "s" elements. The difference between quasi-Monte Carlo and Monte Carlo is the way the x are chosen. Quasi-Monte Carlo uses a low-discrepancy sequence such as the Halton sequence, the Sobol sequence, or the Faure sequence, whereas Monte Carlo uses a pseudorandom sequence. The advantage of using low-discrepancy sequences is a faster rate of convergence. Quasi-Monte Carlo has a rate of convergence close to O(1/"N"), whereas the rate for the Monte Carlo method is O("N"). The Quasi-Monte Carlo method recently became popular in the area of mathematical finance or computational finance. In these areas, high-dimensional numerical integrals, where the integral should be evaluated within a threshold ε, occur frequently. Hence, the Monte Carlo method and the quasi-Monte Carlo method are beneficial in these situations. <SEP> Monte Carlo( or colloquially" Monte- Carl") is officially an administrative area of the Principality of Monaco, specifically the ward of Monte Carlo/ Spélugues, where the Monte Carlo Casino is located. Informally, the name also refers to a larger district, the Monte Carlo Quarter( corresponding to the former municipality of Monte Carlo), which besides Monte Carlo/ Spélugues also includes the wards of La Rousse/ Saint Roman, Larvotto/ Bas Moulins, and Saint Michel. The permanent population of the ward of Monte Carlo is about 3,500, while that of the quarter is about 15,000. Monaco has four traditional quarters. From west to east they are: Fontvieille( the newest), Monaco- Ville( the oldest), La Condamine, and Monte Carlo. Monte Carlo is situated on a prominent escarpment at the base of the Maritime Alps along the French Riviera. Near the quarter's western end is the world- famous Place du Casino, the gambling center which has made Monte Carlo" an international byword for the extravagant display and reckless dispersal of wealth". It is also the location of the Hôtel de Paris, Café de Paris and Salle Garnier( the casino theatre which is the home of the Opéra de Monte- Carlo). The quarter's eastern part includes the community of Larvotto with Monaco's only public beach, as well as its new convention center( the Grimaldi Forum), and the Monte- Carlo Bay Hotel& Resort. At the quarter's eastern border, one crosses into the French town of Beausoleil( sometimes referred to as Monte- Carlo- Supérieur), and just to its east is the western border of Italy.
