Question: Do both films The Great King and Waltz Time (1945 Film) have the directors that share the same nationality?

Harlan reached the highpoint of his career as a director under the Nazi era, especially his antisemitic film" Jud Süß"( 1940) makes him controversial. While viewed critically for his ideologies, a number of critics consider him a capable director, on the grounds of such work as his" Opfergang"( 1944). Veit Harlan( 22 September 1899 – 13 April 1964) was a German film director and actor. <SEP> Stein began his career in Berlin in 1918 and worked exclusively in the German silent film industry until 1926, when he first went to Hollywood, and spent the next five years commuting between Germany and the U.S., where he worked with stars such as Jeanette MacDonald, Lillian Gish and Constance Bennett. Paul Ludwig Stein( 4 February 1892 – 2 May 1951) was an Austrian- born film director with 67 films to his credit. In 1931, Stein relocated to England after gaining a contract with British International Pictures, where he was assigned a number of big- name prestige productions, including some of the popular operetta films of the mid-1930s. These included" Blossom Time" and" Heart's Desire" starring his boyhood friend Richard Tauber, who also made cameo appearances in two of his post-war films" Waltz Time" and" Lisbon Story". For most his career, Stein's credits tended to be films primarily aimed at female audiences, although later he also directed crime and spy thrillers. Stein remained in England for the rest of his life and career, becoming a British citizen in 1938. <SEP> Hartapu was a late Hittite king who likely reigned in Tarhuntassa. He is known from Hieroglyphic Luwian inscriptions from Kizildağ, Mount Karadağ, and Burunkaya near Aksaray. Hartapu, who bore the titles Great king and Hero, states himself to be the son of another Great King and Hero named Mursili. This Mursili likely is identical to the Hittite Great King Mursili III, better known under his birth name Urḫi-Teššub, who ruled the Hittite empire in 1272- 1267 BC before being dethroned by his uncle Hattusili III. If Hartapu is the son of Mursili III, he may have succeeded his uncle Kurunta, the younger brother of Mursili III as king of Tarḫuntašša in the 2nd half of the 13th century BC. Hartapu's use of royal titulation may have been similar to its use by to Kurunta, who also bore the titles Great King and Hero to demonstrate his right to the throne of Hattusa, still occupied by the descendants of the usurper Ḫattušili III. Those descendants of Ḫattušili II were Tudhaliya IV during Kurunta's reign, and Suppiluliuma II during Hartapu's reign. It is known that Suppiluliuma II, last known Great King of Hattusa and usurper from Hartapu's point of view, conquered Tarhuntassa during a military campaign. This may have brought Hartapu's reign to an end. Tarhuntassa may have been ruled by the great king of Hattusa again and collapsed together with the rest of the Hittite empire. Tarhuntassa may have survived the collapse of the Hittite empire. Possible evidence is given by a Hieroglyphic Luwian inscription from Karahöyük in south- central Anatolia. In this an inscription dated to the( later?) 12th century BC, a certain Armanani informs about a visit of a great king named Ir- Teššub in the land POCULUM, at which event the great king gave control of three cities within the country of POCULUM to Armanani. It is sure that Ir- Teššub was a Great King, but his country is unknown. One hypothesis is that he was a Great King of Carchemish and successor of Kuzi-Teššub. The other hypothesis is that he may in fact have been a Great King of Tarhuntassa. This hypothesis is based on epigraphic similarities between the inscription from Karahöyük and the inscriptions of Hartapu. This would imply that the royal line represented by Hartapu continued at least to the early Iron Age. <SEP> It depicts the life of Frederick the Great, who ruled Prussia from 1740 to 1786. It received the rare" Film of the Nation" distinction. The Great King is a 1942 German drama film directed by Veit Harlan and starring Otto Gebühr. It was part of a popular cycle of" Prussian films". The film is a depiction of the Führerprinzip, with the analogy to Adolf Hitler being so clear that Hitler sent a print to Benito Mussolini, and Joseph Goebbels warned against the drawing of the comparison in print, in particular, because of the pessimistic mood that opens the film. After a sergeant gives an unauthorised order, the king orders him simultaneously promoted and punished. His decision to desert after this results in his death, because no disobedience is justified. Goebbels declared that the parallels were not a matter of propaganda, but an obvious result of the parallels of history. Goebbels also regarded it as instructive that current sufferings would be a source of strength. Goebbels had some difficulty with the Army High Command over this film, because it depicted the king left in the lurch by his general. He complained that the army felt that any depiction, however historical, reflected badly on them. <SEP> Waltz Time is a 1945 British musical film directed by Paul L. Stein and starring Carol Raye, Peter Graves and Patricia Medina. <SEP> Robert Asher( 1915 – 1979) was a British film and television director, the brother of British cinematographer Jack Asher.

During World War II he worked on such films such as" When We Are Married"( 1943)," Medal for the General"( 1944) and" Waltz Time"( 1945). Asher became a solo director with the Norman Wisdom vehicle" Follow a Star"( 1959). He followed John Paddy Carstairs as the overseer of the Wisdom films, concluding with" Press for Time"( 1966).
