Question: Which film has the director who died first, Ittefaq (1969 Film) or Rulers Of The Sea?

The film's story is based on the voyage of the SS Savannah, the first steamship to cross the North Atlantic, from Britain to the United States. The film was made by Paramount Pictures, but featured Lockwood and Fyffe who were two of the leading stars of the British Gainsborough Pictures studios. The supporting cast features Alan Ladd. Rulers of the Sea is a 1939 American historical drama film directed by Frank Lloyd and starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Margaret Lockwood and Will Fyffe. <SEP> Ms. Stiletto, is a 1969 film directed by Bruno Corbucci. <SEP> Ben Palmer is a British film and television director who is known for being the director of" Bo' Selecta" and" The Inbetweeners". <SEP> Frank William George Lloyd( 2 February 1886 – 10 August 1960) was a British- born American film director, actor, scriptwriter, and producer. He was among the founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and was its president from 1934 to 1935. <SEP> Ittefaq( English:" Coincidence") is a 1969 Indian suspense thriller film produced by B. R. Chopra and directed by his brother Yash Chopra. The film stars Rajesh Khanna in the lead with Nanda, Bindu, Madan Puri and Iftekhar playing supporting roles and has music by Salil Choudhury. The film became a" semi-hit" at the box office. The movie is a remake of 1965 American movie" Signpost to Murder", which had earlier been adapted into a Gujarati drama" Dhummas", starring Sarita Joshi. It was the fourth Bollywood film( after" NaujawanMunna" and" Kanoon") that did not have any songs in it. What was remarkable was that a previous production from the same production house, i.e. B.R. Films, namely" Kanoon", made in 1960, was also a song- less film and with the same leading lady Nanda. Another common feature of both" Kanoon" and" Ittefaq" was that in both these song- less films Salil Chowdhary was the Music Director. This film is counted among the 17 consecutive hit films starring Rajesh Khanna in lead role between 1969 and 1971, by including the two multi starrer films" Marayada" and" Andaz" to the 15 consecutive solo hits he gave from 1969 to 1971. <SEP> The founding chairman of the film production and distribution company Yash Raj Films, Chopra was the recipient of several awards, including six National Film Awards and 11 Filmfare Awards. He is considered among the best Indian filmmakers. For his contributions to film, the Government of India honoured him with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2001, and the Padma Bhushan in 2005. British Academy of Film and Television Arts presented him with a lifetime membership, making him the first Indian to receive the honour. Chopra began his career as an assistant director to I. S. Johar and his elder brother, B.R. Chopra. He made directorial debut with" Dhool Ka Phool" in 1959, a melodrama about illegitimacy, and followed it with the social drama" Dharmputra"( 1961). Chopra rose to prominence after directing the commercially and critically successful drama," Waqt"( 1965), which pioneered the concept of ensemble casts in Bollywood. In 1971, he founded his own production company, Yash Raj Films, whose first production was" Daag"( 1973), a successful melodrama about a polygamous man. His success continued in the seventies, with some of Indian cinema's most successful and iconic films, including the action thriller" Deewaar"( 1975), which established Amitabh Bachchan as the leading actor in Bollywood; the romantic drama" Kabhie Kabhie"( 1976) and" Trishul"( 1978). This was followed by a period of professional setback from the late 1970s to 1989. Chopra collaborated with Sridevi in two of what has been considered to be his finest films; the romantic musical" Chandni"( 1989), which became instrumental in ending the era of violent films in Bollywood and returning to musicals, and the romantic drama" Lamhe"( 1991), considered by critics and Chopra himself to be his best work, but underperformed at the domestic box office although brought profits overseas. After helming the critically panned" Parampara"( 1993), Chopra directed the commercially successful psychological thriller" Darr"( 1993), the first of his films to star Shah Rukh Khan. Chopra directed three more romantic films, all starring Khan;" Dil To Pagal Hai"( 1997)," Veer- Zaara"( 2004) and" Jab Tak Hai Jaan"( 2012), before announcing his retirement from direction in 2012. He died of dengue fever during" Jab Tak Hai Jaan" s production in 2012. Yash Raj Chopra( 27 September 1932 – 21 October 2012) was an Indian director and film producer who worked in Hindi films.
