Question: Are director of film Home Alone 2: Lost In New York and director of film Our Mother'S House from the same country?

It nominally stars Dirk Bogarde( who only appears in the film's second half) and principally features a cast of seven juvenile actors, including Pamela Franklin, Phoebe Nicholls and Mark Lester, with popular British actress Yootha Joyce in a supporting role. The screenplay was written by Jeremy Brooks and Haya Harareet, based on the 1963 novel of the same name by Julian Gloag. Our Mother's House is a 1967 British drama film directed by Jack Clayton. <SEP> Starting out as a teenage studio "tea boy" in 1935, Clayton worked his way up through British film industry in a career that spanned nearly sixty years. He rapidly rose through a series of increasingly important roles in British film production, before shooting to international prominence as a director with his Oscar-winning feature film debut, the drama "Room at the Top" (1959); this was followed by the much-lauded horror film "The Innocents" (1961), adapted from Henry James' "The Turn of the Screw". Clayton looked set for a brilliant future, and he was highly regarded by peers and critics alike, but a number of overlapping factors hampered his career. He was a notably 'choosy' director, who by his own admission "never made a film I didn't want to make", and he repeatedly turned down films (including "Alien") that became huge hits for other directors. Jack Clayton (1 March 1921 – 26 February 1995) was a British film director and producer who specialised in bringing literary works to the screen. But he was also dogged by bad luck and bad timing - the Hollywood studios labelled him as 'difficult', and studio politics quashed a string of planned films in the 1970s, which were either taken out of his hands, or cancelled in the final stages of preparation. In 1977, he suffered a double blow - his current film was cancelled just two weeks before shooting was due to begin, and a few months later he suffered a serious stroke which robbed him of the ability to speak, and put his career on hold for five years. Despite his relatively small "oeuvre", the films of Jack Clayton continue to be appreciated, and both they and their director have been widely admired and praised by leading film critics like Pauline Kael and Roger Ebert, and by film industry peers including Harold Pinter, Martin Scorsese, Guillermo del Toro, François Truffaut, Tennessee Williams and Steven Spielberg. <SEP> It is the second film in the" Home Alone" series and the sequel to the 1990 film" Home Alone". The film stars Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, Tim Curry, Brenda Fricker, and Catherine O' Hara. In the film, taking place one year after the events of" Home Alone", Kevin and his family decide to take a trip to Florida, but Kevin accidentally boards the wrong plane and instead ends up in New York City. He tries to make do with what he has, such as using his father's credit card to stay at the Plaza Hotel, but is soon confronted by the recently- escaped Wet Bandits. Using his wits to survive and befriending unlikely locals, Kevin must outrun and out- prank his old enemies again, while his family tries desperately to find him. " Home Alone 2" was filmed on location in Chicago and New York City, including at the Rockefeller Center and the original World Trade Center. It received mixed to negative reviews from critics, who found it to be overly similar to its predecessor.
