Question: Do both directors of films The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend and T-Men have the same nationality?

As a director, he often collaborated with the cinematographer John Alton. He directed films for a variety of production companies, from RKO to MGM, and worked with many major stars of the era. Anthony Mann( June 30, 1906 – April 29, 1967) was an American actor and film director, best remembered for his work in the film noir and Westerns genres. He made several Westerns with James Stewart, such as" Winchester'73"( 1950), and he was the director of the medieval epic" El Cid"( 1961), working with Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren. He also directed the big- budget film" Cimarron"( 1960), which starred Glenn Ford and Maria Schell. <SEP> Mr. Right is a 2009 British film directed by David Morris and Jacqui Morris. The jointly- made gay- themed film is the debut for both directors. <SEP> Christine Cecilia McIntyre( April 16, 1911 – July 8, 1984) was an American actress and singer who appeared in various films in the 1930s and 1940s. She is mainly remembered as the beautiful blonde actress who appeared in many of The Three Stooges shorts produced by Columbia Pictures. <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. Preston Sturges( born Edmund Preston Biden; August 29, 1898 – August 6, 1959) was an American playwright, screenwriter, and film director. Sturges famously sold the story for" The Great McGinty" to Paramount Pictures for$ 1, in return for being allowed to direct the film. <SEP> The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend is a 1949 romantic comedy Western film starring Betty Grable and featuring Cesar Romero and Rudy Vallee. It was directed by Preston Sturges and written by him based on a story by Earl Felton. The film, Sturges' first Technicolor production, was not well received at the time it was released, and was generally conceded to be a disaster – even Betty Grable bad-mouthed it – but its reputation has improved somewhat over time, though it is not considered to be in the same league as the intelligent comedies Sturges made at Paramount Pictures for which he is known. "The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend" would turn out to be the last American film on which Sturges would work – although he would receive credit for films that were remakes or adaptations of his earlier movies. Sturges directed only one more film in his life, the 1955 French comedy "Les carnets du Major Thompson" (released in the U.S. as "The French, They Are a Funny Race"). <SEP> T- Men is a 1947 semidocumentary style film noir by director Anthony Mann and shot by noted noir cameraman John Alton. The production features Dennis O' Keefe, Mary Meade, Alfred Ryder, Wallace Ford, June Lockhart and Charles McGraw. A year later, director Mann used the film's male lead, Dennis O' Keefe, in" Raw Deal." The film was identified as a B movie when featured in the 1992 documentary," Visions Of Light: The Art Of Cinematography" for it s use of lighting and in the discussion about film noir.
