Question: Which film has the director died first, Girls About Town (Film) or The Sin Of Harold Diddlebock?

George Dewey Cukor( July 7, 1899 – January 24, 1983) was an American film director. He mainly concentrated on comedies and literary adaptations. His career flourished at RKO when David O. Selznick, the studio's Head of Production, assigned Cukor to direct several of RKO's major films, including" What Price Hollywood?"( 1932)," A Bill of Divorcement"( 1932)," Our Betters"( 1933), and" Little Women"( 1933). When Selznick moved to MGM in 1933, Cukor followed and directed" Dinner at Eight"( 1933) and" David Copperfield"( 1935) for Selznick and" Romeo and Juliet"( 1936) and" Camille"( 1936) for Irving Thalberg. He was replaced as the director of" Gone with the Wind"( 1939), but he went on to direct" The Philadelphia Story"( 1940)," Gaslight"( 1944)," Adam's Rib"( 1949)," Born Yesterday"( 1950)," A Star Is Born"( 1954)," Bhowani Junction"( 1956), and won the Academy Award for Best Director for" My Fair Lady"( 1964). He continued to work into the 1980s. <SEP> Girls About Town is a 1931 American pre-Code romantic comedy film directed by George Cukor and starring Kay Francis and Joel McCrea. <SEP> In 1941, he won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for the film" The Great McGinty", his first of three nominations in the category. Sturges took the screwball comedy format of the 1930s to another level, writing dialogue that, heard today, is often surprisingly naturalistic, mature, and ahead of its time, despite the farcical situations. It is not uncommon for a Sturges character to deliver an exquisitely turned phrase and take an elaborate pratfall within the same scene. Prior to Sturges, other figures in Hollywood( such as Charlie Chaplin, D. W. Griffith, and Frank Capra) had directed films from their own scripts, however Sturges is often regarded as the first Hollywood figure to establish success as a screenwriter and then move into directing his own scripts, at a time when those roles were separate. Sturges famously sold the story for" The Great McGinty" to Paramount Pictures for$ 1, in return for being allowed to direct the film. Preston Sturges( born Edmund Preston Biden; August 29, 1898 – August 6, 1959) was an American playwright, screenwriter, and film director. <SEP> Three Girls About Town is a 1941 Columbia comedy film directed by Leigh Jason and starring Joan Blondell, Binnie Barnes and Janet Blair( in her film debut). The story was written by Richard Carroll. <SEP> Il peccato degli anni verdi( Italian for" The sin of the green years") is a 1960 Italian romance film written and directed by Leopoldo Trieste. It premiered at the Locarno International Film Festival with the title" L'assegno". <SEP> The film's story is a continuation of" The Freshman", one of Lloyd's most successful movies. The Sin of Harold Diddlebock is a 1947 comedy film written and directed by Preston Sturges, starring the silent film comic icon Harold Lloyd, and featuring a supporting cast including female protagonist Frances Ramsden, Jimmy Conlin, Raymond Walburn, Rudy Vallee, Arline Judge, Edgar Kennedy, Franklin Pangborn, J. Farrell MacDonald, Robert Dudley, Robert Greig, Lionel Stander and Jackie the Lion. " The Sin of Harold Diddlebock" was Sturges' first project after leaving Paramount Pictures, where he had made his most popular films, but the film was not successful in its initial release. It was quickly pulled from distribution by producer Howard Hughes who took almost four years to re-shoot some scenes and re-edit the film, finally re-releasing it in 1950 as Mad Wednesday – but the reception by the general public was no better the second time around. Lloyd was never to star in another film, turning instead to production, and releasing compilation films featuring his earlier silent film work.
