Question: Which film has the director died later, Five Star Final or The King And I (1956 Film)?

The picture was written by Robert Lord and Byron Morgan based on the play of the same name by Louis Weitzenkorn, directed by Mervyn LeRoy, starring Edward G. Robinson, and featuring H. B. Warner, Marian Marsh, Oscar Apfel, Aline MacMahon in her screen debut, Frances Starr, Ona Munson, and Boris Karloff. Five Star Final is a 1931 American pre-Code drama film about the excesses of tabloid journalism whose premise is best summed up by the line: “ I think you can always get people interested in the crucifixion of a woman ” and the opening scene, in which thugs vandalize a newsstand whose owner refuses to give the paper preferential placement. The title refers to an era when competing newspapers published a series of editions during the day, in this case marking its final edition front page with five stars and the word" Final. Five Star Final" is also a font similar to those often used in newspaper headlines. Warners remade the film in 1936 as" Two Against the World", also known as" One Fatal Hour", starring Humphrey Bogart in Robinson's part and set in a radio station instead of a newspaper. The film was nominated at the 5th Annual Academy Awards in 1931/ 1932 in the category of Outstanding Production, which later became known as the Academy Award for Best Picture. Newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst was greatly offended by this film which he interpreted as a thinly veiled attack on him and his operation, giving it negative reviews in his papers and putting pressure on theaters to not show it. <SEP> The screenplay by Ernest Lehman is based on the Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II musical" The King and I", based in turn on the novel" Anna and the King of Siam" by Margaret Landon. That novel in turn was based on memoirs written by Anna Leonowens, who became school teacher to the children of King Mongkut of Siam in the early 1860s. Leonowens' stories were autobiographical, although various elements of them have been called into question. The film stars Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner. The film was a critical and commercial success, and was nominated for 9 Oscars, winning 5, including Best Actor for Brynner. The King and I is a 1956 American musical film made by 20th Century Fox, directed by Walter Lang and produced by Charles Brackett and Darryl F. Zanuck. Another film adaptation of the same musical, the animated film" The King and I", was released in 1999. <SEP> Walter Lang( August 10, 1896 – February 7, 1972) was an American film director. <SEP> Anna and the King of Siam is a 1946 drama film directed by John Cromwell. An adaptation of the 1944 novel of the same name by Margaret Landon, it was based on the fictionalized diaries of Anna Leonowens, an Anglo- Indian woman who claimed to be British and became governess in the Royal Court of Siam( now modern Thailand) during the 1860s. Darryl F. Zanuck read Landon's book in galleys and immediately bought the film rights. The story mainly concerns the culture clash of the Imperialist Victorian values of the British Empire with the supposedly autocratic rule of Siam's King Mongkut. The successful film starred Rex Harrison as the king and Irene Dunne as Anna. At the 19th Academy Awards ceremony, the film received two Oscars; for Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction( Lyle R. Wheeler, William S. Darling, Thomas Little, Frank E. Hughes). Also nominated were Bernard Herrmann for the score, the screenwriters and supporting actress Gale Sondergaard. Landon's novel was later adapted by Rodgers and Hammerstein for their 1951 stage musical" The King and I" and subsequent 1956 film of the same name. American film director Andy Tennant remade the film in 1999 as" Anna and the King" with Jodie Foster and Chow Yun- fat. The portrayal of Tuptim in" Anna and the King of Siam" is considerably less sympathetic than in the musical version" The King and I", as the 1946 film shows animosity between Tuptim and Anna, while the musical makes her into a romantic character. Also, Tuptim is ultimately executed cruelly by the king, following an episode in Leonowens's book, while in the musical her fate is made ambiguous. <SEP> Two Against the World, also known as One Fatal Hour, is a 1936 drama film directed by William C. McGann and starring Humphrey Bogart, Beverly Roberts, and Linda Perry. The film is based on the play" Five Star Final" by Louis Weitzenkorn and is a remake of the film" Five Star Final" starring Edward G. Robinson, although the setting has been moved from a newspaper office to a radio station which revives the memory of a twenty- year- old murder case, resulting in tragic consequences. <SEP> Mervyn LeRoy( October 15, 1900 – September 13, 1987) was an American film director, film producer, author, and occasional actor.
