Question: Are the directors of films Send for Paul Temple and The Best Years of a Life both from the same country?

Thomas Foster" Jack" Raine( 18 May 1897 – 30 May 1979) was an English stage, television and film actor. He was a leading man of the British cinema in the late twenties and early thirties in such films as" The Hate Ship"( 1929)," Raise the RoofSuspense Night Birds" and" The Middle Watch"( all 1930), before moving down the cast list and becoming a character actor. Throughout the thirties and forties he appeared in numerous supporting roles, usually as sturdy figures of authority, including" The Ghoul"( 1933)," The Clairvoyant"( 1934)," Holiday CampMine Own Executioner"( both 1947) and" Easy Money"( 1948). He also played Sir Graham Forbes in the first two Paul Temple films" Send for Paul Temple"( 1946) and" Calling Paul Temple"( 1948). One of his last British films was a rare co-starring role of this era in the' B' movie" No Way Back"( 1949), opposite Terence De Marney, in which he played against type as a small time gangster. Like a lot of British actors during the fifties he made the move to Hollywood and enjoyed a career of character roles which continued into the seventies. These included" Julius Caesar"( 1953)," An Affair to Remember"( 1957)," Witness for the Prosecution"( both 1957)," My Fair Lady"( 1964)," Doctor Doolittle"( 1967)," The Killing of Sister George"( 1968) and" Bedknobs and Broomsticks"( 1971). Numerous television roles included Father Knows Best( Tv Series) " Perry MasonMister Ed77 Sunset Strip The Outer Limits The Twilight Zone The Man from U.N.C.L.E." and" Ironside". He also portrayed Dr. Watson opposite Basil Rathbone's Sherlock Holmes on the radio, and on Broadway, after the passing of Rathbone's screen Watson, Nigel Bruce. He was married to musical theatre actress Binnie Hale from 1924 until their divorce in 1934. He was subsequently married to Sonia Phyllis Bellamy and then Theodora Moreau Wilson. <SEP> It was screened out of competition at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. The Best Years of a Life is a 2019 French drama film directed by Claude Lelouch. <SEP> Paul Temple is called in by Scotland Yard after a major diamond theft. It was the first of four film adaptations of the BBC's Paul Temple radio serials, with John Bentley taking over the lead role in future installments. The film is an abridged version of the first ever" Paul Temple" radio serial, originally broadcast in 1938( and re-made in 1940 with a Canadian cast for broadcasting in Canada), which was also entitled" Send for Paul Temple". The radio script was written by Francis Durbridge. Send for Paul Temple is a 1946 British crime film directed by John Argyle and starring Anthony Hulme, Joy Shelton and Tamara Desni. The film script is only indirectly based on the radio drama, since the screenplay is actually an adaptation by John Argyle of Durbridge's 1938 novel, which Durbridge had in turn based on the scripts for his 8- part radio serial. Accordingly, much of the 200 minute nominal duration of the radio production has been discarded in abridging the story to fit the film's much shorter 83 minute running time, and the plot has consequently been heavily truncated and considerably simplified. None of the radio cast appear in the film, although at the time of its UK release in 1946 this was not necessarily a significant drawback as the BBC had not then fixed on a particular cast for their radio broadcasts, and in fact seven different actors would portray the eponymous hero on BBC radio between 1938 and 1954 -- none of whom would ever be seen in the part since the BBC did not adapt the series for television until 1969, so in the 1940s and 1950s the films offered the only on- screen portrayal of Durbridge's characters. The DVD release misleadingly describes the film as written by Durbridge, although it was not. The adaptation is by Argyle, who reuses the names of characters and places from the novel, and recycles some plot ideas and situations, and the basic storyline; but a comparison with the extant 1940 Canadian radio production reveals( unsurprisingly, since five of the eight radio episodes have been omitted) that little of Durbridge's original dialogue, characterisation or detailed plotting survives. Durbridge's trademark ability to construct his radio dramas around the seven cliffhanger endings in his multipart serials is entirely lost. <SEP> Claude Barruck Joseph Lelouch( born 30 October 1937) is a French film director, writer, cinematographer, actor and producer. <SEP> John Argyle( 1911–1962) was a British screenwriter, producer and film director. <SEP> Till the End of Time is a 1946 drama film directed by Edward Dmytryk and starring Dorothy McGuire, Guy Madison, Robert Mitchum, and Bill Williams. Released the same year as but preceding the better known" The Best Years of Our Lives", it covers much the same topic: the adjustment of World War II veterans to civilian life. It was based on the novel" They Dream of Home" by Niven Busch. Unlike the soldier, sailor and airman of" The Best Years of Our Lives", the male leads in this film are all U.S. Marines. Frédéric Chopin's Polonaise Op. 53 is played throughout the film; it was given lyrics and became a major hit at the time.
