Question: Which film has the director who was born earlier, The Beautiful Blonde From Bashful Bend or Ana Arabia?

The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend is a 1949 romantic comedy Western film starring Betty Grable and featuring Cesar Romero and Rudy Vallee. The film, Sturges' first Technicolor production, was not well received at the time it was released, and was generally conceded to be a disaster – even Betty Grable bad-mouthed it – but its reputation has improved somewhat over time, though it is not considered to be in the same league as the intelligent comedies Sturges made at Paramount Pictures for which he is known. It was directed by Preston Sturges and written by him based on a story by Earl Felton. "The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend" would turn out to be the last American film on which Sturges would work – although he would receive credit for films that were remakes or adaptations of his earlier movies. Sturges directed only one more film in his life, the 1955 French comedy "Les carnets du Major Thompson" (released in the U.S. as "The French, They Are a Funny Race"). <SEP> Christine Cecilia McIntyre( April 16, 1911 – July 8, 1984) was an American actress and singer who appeared in various films in the 1930s and 1940s. She is mainly remembered as the beautiful blonde actress who appeared in many of The Three Stooges shorts produced by Columbia Pictures. <SEP> Ana Arabia( I Am Arab) is a 2013 French- Israeli drama film written and directed by Amos Gitai. It was entered into the main competition at the 70th Venice International Film Festival. It consists of a single long take. <SEP> In 1941, he won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for the film" The Great McGinty", his first of three nominations in the category. Sturges took the screwball comedy format of the 1930s to another level, writing dialogue that, heard today, is often surprisingly naturalistic, mature, and ahead of its time, despite the farcical situations. Preston Sturges( born Edmund Preston Biden; August 29, 1898 – August 6, 1959) was an American playwright, screenwriter, and film director. It is not uncommon for a Sturges character to deliver an exquisitely turned phrase and take an elaborate pratfall within the same scene. Prior to Sturges, other figures in Hollywood( such as Charlie Chaplin, D. W. Griffith, and Frank Capra) had directed films from their own scripts, however Sturges is often regarded as the first Hollywood figure to establish success as a screenwriter and then move into directing his own scripts, at a time when those roles were separate. Sturges famously sold the story for" The Great McGinty" to Paramount Pictures for$ 1, in return for being allowed to direct the film. <SEP> Gitai's work was presented in several major retrospectives in Pompidou Center Paris, the Museum of Modern Art( MoMA) New York, Lincoln Center New York, and the British Film Institute London. To date Amos Gitai has created over 90 works of art throughout 38 years. Between 1999 and 2017 ten of his films were entered in the Cannes Film Festival for the Palme d' Or as well as The Venice International Film Festival for the Golden Lion award. He has worked with Juliette Binoche, Jeanne Moreau, Natalie Portman, Yael Abecassis, Samuel Fuller, Hanna Schygulla, Annie Lennox, Barbara Hendricks, Léa Seydoux, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Henri Alekan, Renato Berta, Nurith Aviv, Éric Gautier and more. Since 2000 he has been collaborating with the French screenwriter Marie- José Sanselme. He received several prestigious prizes, in particular the Leopard of Honor at the Locarno International Film Festival( 2008), the Roberto Rossellini prize( 2005), the Robert Bresson prize( 2013), the Paradjanov prize( 2014), and Légion d'Honneur( 2017). In 2018, Amos Gitai has been elected professor at the chair of artistic creation at the Collège de France, with a series of 12 lessons on cinema( 16 October – 18 December 2018) Amos Gitai( born 11 October 1950) is an Israeli filmmaker, who was trained as an architect. <SEP> Ana María Vignoli or Ana Maria Vignoli( born 27 July 1945) is a Uruguayan former minister of Social Development.
