Question: Which film has the director who was born first, Twentieth Century (Film) or The Prairie Wife?

Howard Winchester Hawks( May 30, 1896 December 26, 1977) was an American film director, producer and screenwriter of the classic Hollywood era. Critic Leonard Maltin called him" the greatest American director who is not a household name." A versatile film director, Hawks explored many genres such as comedies, dramas, gangster films, science fiction, film noir, and westerns. His most popular films include" Scarface"( 1932)," Bringing Up Baby"( 1938)," Only Angels Have Wings"( 1939)," His Girl Friday"( 1940)," To Have and Have Not"( 1944)," The Big Sleep"( 1946)," Red River"( 1948)," The Thing from Another World"( 1951)," Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"( 1953), and" Rio Bravo"( 1959). His frequent portrayals of strong, tough- talking female characters came to define the" Hawksian woman". In 1942, Hawks was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director for" Sergeant York". In 1974, he was awarded an Honorary Academy Award as" a master American filmmaker whose creative efforts hold a distinguished place in world cinema." His work has influenced various popular and respected directors such as Martin Scorsese, Robert Altman, Jean- Luc Godard, John Carpenter, and Quentin Tarantino. <SEP> Wale Adebanwi( born 1969) is a Nigerian- born first Black Rhodes Professor at St Antony's College, Oxford. <SEP> The Prairie Wife is a 1925 American Western film directed by Hugo Ballin and featuring Boris Karloff, and based on a story by Arthur Stringer. The film is considered to be lost. It received a lukewarm review in "Film Daily", as having some "humorous touches scattered through" but overlong. " Variety" wrote that "for a cheap picture, it should more than get the production cost back and show a corking profit." <SEP> Much of the film is set on the" 20th Century Limited" train as it travels from Chicago to New York City. Twentieth Century is a 1934 American pre-Code screwball comedy film directed by Howard Hawks and starring John Barrymore, Carole Lombard, Walter Connolly, Roscoe Karns, and Edgar Kennedy. Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur adapted their Broadway play of the same name – itself based on the unproduced play" Napoleon of Broadway" by Charles Bruce Millholland – with uncredited contributions from Gene Fowler and Preston Sturges. Along with Frank Capra's" It Happened One Night", also released in 1934( which coincidentally has the same music over the opening titles)," Twentieth Century" is considered to be a prototype for the screwball comedy. " Howard Hawks' rapid- fire romantic comedy established the essential ingredients of the" screwball" – a dizzy dame, a charming, but befuddled, hero, dazzling dialogue, and a dash of slapstick." Its success propelled Lombard into the front ranks of film comediennes. The film was added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 2011. <SEP> Hassan Zee is a Pakistani- American film director who was born in Chakwal, Pakistan. <SEP> Ballin was a member of the National Institute of Arts and Letters and the National Academy of Design.
