Question: Which film has the director died later, Something Always Happens or The Preview Murder Mystery?

Michael Latham Powell( 30 September 1905 – 19 February 1990) was an English film director, celebrated for his partnership with Emeric Pressburger. Through their production company" The Archers", they together wrote, produced and directed a series of classic British films, notably" 49th Parallel"( 1941)," The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp"( 1943)," A Matter of Life and Death"( 1946, also called" Stairway to HeavenBlack Narcissus"( 1947)," The Red Shoes"( 1948), and" The Tales of Hoffmann"( 1951). His later controversial 1960 film" Peeping Tom", while today considered a classic, and a contender as the first" slasher", was so vilified on first release that his career was seriously damaged. Many film- makers such as Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and George A. Romero have cited Powell as an influence. In 1981, he received the BAFTA Academy Fellowship Award along with his partner Pressburger, the highest honour the British Film Academy can give a filmmaker. <SEP> Murder by Invitation is a 1941 American murder mystery film directed by Phil Rosen. <SEP> The plot follows a studio public relations man who attempts to trap a killer using television technology, allowing on- screen glimpses of technicians like Florey's cinematographer Karl Struss. Reginald Denny plays the suave head of PR for a movie studio, a role more often given to brassy actors such as Lionel Stander. He is a devoted fan of a mysterious actor who developed a cult following during the silent era. It is widely believed that it is a tragedy that he died before sound movies became the standard and there are people who see the idea of remaking his films as sound productions as bordering on sacrilege. From his description, this actor reflected elements of Rudolph Valentino and Lon Chaney, Sr.; he was an exotically handsome leading man and a master of disguise who appeared in many intense, weird roles. When an attempt is made to remake one of his starring vehicles as a musical, the effort seems cursed, with many accidents happening inexplicably. In time it becomes apparent that a murderer is lurking in the studio, possibly in the fashion of The Phantom of the Opera, and police quarantine the studio. Executives decide that work should continue on films as the night wears on. Denny and a technician hide in a sound editing room and eavesdrop on productions. The Preview Murder Mystery is a 1936 American mystery- comedy, directed by Robert Florey and shot in the Paramount studio. There is an" iris out" effect whenever they tune in to a soundstage and the audience sees the films being shot. One is a horror film about a mysterious caped character called" The Batman". The film is noteworthy in that numerous suspects with credible motives are developed in the course of the story despite its short running time. <SEP> Something Always Happens is a 1934 British romantic comedy film directed by Michael Powell and starring Ian Hunter and Nancy O'Neil. It was made as a Quota quickie. <SEP> Born as Robert Fuchs in Paris, he became an orphan at an early age and was then raised in Switzerland. In 1920 he worked at first as a film journalist, then as an assistant and extra in featurettes from Louis Feuillade. Florey moved to the United States in 1921. As a director, Florey's most productive decades were the 1930s and 1940s, working on relatively low- budget fillers for Paramount and Warner Brothers. His reputation is balanced between his avant- garde expressionist style, most evident in his early career, and his work as a fast, reliable studio- system director called on to finish troubled projects, such as 1939's" Hotel Imperial". He directed more than 50 movies. His most popular film is likely the first Marx Brothers feature" The Cocoanuts" of 1929, and his 1932 foray into Universal- style horror," Murders in the Rue Morgue" is regarded by horror fans as highly reflective of German expressionism. In 2006, as his 1937 film" Daughter of Shanghai" was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, Florey was called" widely acclaimed as the best director working in major studio B-films". Robert Florey( 14 September 1900 – 16 May 1979) was a French- American director, screenwriter, film journalist and actor. <SEP> Something Always Happens is a 1928 American silent horror film directed by Frank Tuttle. The plot was the work of director Frank Tuttle, from which the screenplay was written by Florence Ryerson and Raymond Cannon, and the subtitles were provided by Herman J. Mankiewicz. The film stars Esther Ralston, Neil Hamilton, Sôjin Kamiyama, Charles Sellon, Roscoe Karns, Lawrence Grant, and Mischa Auer. It was released on March 24, 1928, by Paramount Pictures. It is not known whether the film survives, or who holds the rights. The Oriental character played by Sôjin Kamiyama in the film resembled Fu Manchu, not surprising as Sax Rohmer's" Fu Manchu" character was very popular among filmgoers in 1928. Japanese actor Sojin played similar horror roles in" The Bat"( 1926)," The Unholy Night"( 1929) and" Seven Footprints to Satan"( 1929). This film should not be confused with the 1934 sound film of the same title.
