Question: Are both director of film Lady In The Lake and director of film The Women (2008 Film) from the same country?

Diane English( born May 18, 1948) is an American screenwriter, producer and director, best known for creating the television show" Murphy Brown" and writing and directing the 2008 feature film" The Women". <SEP> Brian Johnson( born 1939 or 1940) is a British designer and director of film and television special effects. <SEP> He was also the father of actress Elizabeth Montgomery. He began his acting career on the stage, but was soon hired by MGM. Initially assigned roles in comedies, he soon proved he was able to handle dramatic ones as well. During World War II, he drove ambulances in France until the Dunkirk evacuation. Robert Montgomery( born Henry Montgomery Jr.; May 21, 1904 – September 27, 1981) was an American film and television actor, director, and producer. When the United States entered the war on December 8, 1941, he enlisted in the Navy, and was present at the invasion at Normandy. After the war, he returned to Hollywood, where he worked in both films and, later, in television. <SEP> The screenplay is an updated version of the George Cukor- directed 1939 film of the same name based on a 1936 play by Clare Boothe Luce. The Women is a 2008 American comedy- drama film written, produced and directed by Diane English and starring Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett Smith, Carrie Fisher, Cloris Leachman, Debi Mazar, Bette Midler, and Candice Bergen. Though a commercial success," The Women" was panned by critics. <SEP> The picture also features Audrey Totter, Lloyd Nolan, Tom Tully, Leon Ames and Jayne Meadows. The murder mystery was an adaptation of the 1943 Raymond Chandler novel" The Lady in the Lake". Lady in the Lake is a 1947 American film noir that marked the directorial debut of Robert Montgomery, who also stars in the film. The film was Montgomery's last for Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer( MGM), after eighteen years with the studio. Montgomery's ambition was to create a cinematic version of the first- person narrative style of Chandler's Philip Marlowe novels. With the exception of a couple of times when Montgomery( in character) addresses the audience directly, the entire film is shot from the viewpoint of the central character. The audience sees only what he does. MGM promoted the film with the claim that it was the first of its kind and the most revolutionary style of film since the introduction of the talkies. The movie was also unusual for having virtually no instrumental soundtrack, the music in the film being instead provided by a wordless vocal chorus. The film did not use Raymond Chandler's own 195- page screenplay adaptation dated July 5, 1945 which he wrote for MGM, but instead used a 125- page version written by Steve Fisher, which was filmed two years later. The film's script changes the novel's midsummer setting to Christmastime, frequently using holiday themes as an ironic counterpoint to the grim aspects of the story. The opening credits are shown on a series of Christmas cards, which turn out to be concealing a gun. <SEP> Hanro Smitsman, born in 1967 in Breda( Netherlands), is a writer and director of film and television.
