Question: Do both films: Safar (1970 Film) and Strangers On A Train (Film) have the directors from the same country?

The film stars Ashok Kumar, Rajesh Khanna, Sharmila Tagore and Feroz Khan in lead roles. The film became the tenth top- grossing production of the year. It won one Filmfare Awards and four BFJA Awards. Rajesh Khanna received a nomination for BFJA Awards for Best Actor( Hindi). Asit Sen remade the 1956 Bengali film" Chalachal", which was directed by him, in Hindi as" Safar"( 1970). As per review by critics, Safar was carried more than ably by Khanna's immense charm at the peak of his popularity. Rajesh Khanna beautifully conveys his character's desperation and his conviction that surviving by a slender thread is not really living. This film is counted among the 17 consecutive hit films of Rajesh Khanna between 1969 and 1971, by adding the two- hero films" Marayada" and" Andaz" to the 15 consecutive solo hits he gave from 1969 to 1971. Safar( English:" Journey") is a 1970 Indian Hindi film produced by the Mushir- Riaz duo and directed by Asit Sen, based on a novel by Bengali writer Ashutosh Mukherjee. <SEP> His first successful film,( 1927), helped to shape the thriller genre, while his 1929 film," Blackmail", was the first British. Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock,( 13 August 1899 – 29 April 1980) was an English film director and producer, widely regarded as one of the most influential and extensively studied filmmakers in the history of cinema. Known as" the Master of Suspense", he directed over 50 feature films in a career spanning six decades, becoming as well known as any of his actors thanks to his many interviews, his cameo roles in most of his films, and his hosting and producing of the television anthology" Alfred Hitchcock Presents"( 1955 – 1965). His films garnered a total of 46 Oscar nominations and six wins. Born in Leytonstone, Essex, Hitchcock entered the film industry in 1919 as a title card designer after training as a technical clerk and copy writer for a telegraph- cable company. He made his directorial debut with the silent film" The Pleasure Garden"( 1925). Two of his 1930s thrillers," The 39 Steps"( 1935) and" The Lady Vanishes"( 1938), are ranked among the greatest British films of the 20th century. By 1939 Hitchcock was a filmmaker of international importance, and film producer David O. Selznick persuaded him to move to Hollywood. A string of successful films followed, including" Rebecca"( 1940)," Foreign Correspondent"( 1940)," Suspicion"( 1941)," Shadow of a Doubt"( 1943), and" Notorious"( 1946). " Rebecca" won the Academy Award for Best Picture, although Hitchcock himself was only nominated as Best Director; he was also nominated for" Lifeboat"( 1944) and" Spellbound"( 1945), although he never won the Best Director Academy Award. The" Hitchcockian" style includes the use of camera movement to mimic a person's gaze, thereby turning viewers into voyeurs, and framing shots to maximise anxiety and fear. The film critic Robin Wood wrote that the meaning of a Hitchcock film" is there in the method, in the progression from shot to shot. A Hitchcock film is an organism, with the whole implied in every detail and every detail related to the whole." After a brief lull of commercial success in the late 1940s, Hitchcock returned to form with" Strangers on a Train"( 1951) and" Dial M For Murder"( 1954). By 1960 Hitchcock had directed four films often ranked among the greatest of all time:" Rear Window"( 1954)," Vertigo"( 1958)," North by Northwest"( 1959), and" Psycho"( 1960) with the first and last of these garnering him Best Director nominations. In 2012," Vertigo" replaced Orson Welles's" Citizen Kane"( 1941) as the British Film Institute's greatest film ever made based on its world- wide poll of hundreds of film critics. By 2018 eight of his films had been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry, including his personal favourite," Shadow of a Doubt"( 1943). He received the BAFTA Fellowship in 1971, the AFI Life Achievement Award in 1979 and was knighted in December that year, four months before he died. <SEP> He was born in Dhaka, now in modern -day Bangladesh, when it was part of East Bengal in British India. Asit Sen( 24 September 1922 – 25 August 2001) was a Bengali Indian film director, cinematographer and screenwriter, who worked in both Bengali and Hindi cinema. He directed 17 feature films in Hindi and Bengali, and was most known for the films" Deep Jweley Jai"( 1959) and" Uttar Falguni"( 1963) in Bengali," Mamta"( 1966)," Khamoshi"( 1969)," Anokhi Raat"( 1968) and" Safar"( 1970) in Hindi. <SEP> William H.

The film stars Farley Granger, Ruth Roman, and Robert Walker, and features Leo G. Carroll, the director's daughter Pat Hitchcock, and Laura Elliott. It is number 32 on AFI's" 100 Years ... 100 Thrills". The story concerns two strangers who meet on a train, a young tennis player and a charming psychopath. The psychopath suggests that because they each want to" get rid" of someone, they should" exchange" murders, and that way neither will be caught. Strangers on a Train is a 1951 American psychological thriller film noir produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and based on the 1950 novel" Strangers on a Train" by Patricia Highsmith. The psychopath commits the first murder, then tries to force the tennis player to complete the bargain. <SEP> The Accidental Detective is a 2015 South Korean action comedy film directed by Kim Joung- hoon.
