Question: Do both directors of films The White Roses and Port of Seven Seas have the same nationality?

The White Roses( German: Die weißen Rosen) is a 1916 German silent film directed by Urban Gad and starring Asta Nielsen, Ernst Hofmann and Max Landa. <SEP> James Whale( 22 July 1889 – 29 May 1957) was an English film director, theater director and actor, who spent the greater part of his career in Hollywood. He is best remembered for several horror films:" Frankenstein"( 1931)," The Old Dark House"( 1932)," The Invisible Man"( 1933) and" Bride of Frankenstein"( 1935), all considered classics. Whale also directed films in other genres, including the 1936 film version of the musical" Show Boat". He became increasingly disenchanted with his association with horror, and many of his non-horror films have fallen into obscurity. Whale was born into a large family in Dudley, Worcestershire. He discovered his artistic talent early on and studied art. He was captured by the Germans and during his time as a prisoner of war he realized he was interested in drama. Following his release at the end of the war he became an actor, set designer and director. His success directing the 1928 play" Journey's End" led to his move to the US, first to direct the play on Broadway and then to Hollywood, California, to direct films. He lived in Hollywood for the rest of his life, most of that time with his longtime companion, producer David Lewis. Apart from" Journey's End"( 1930), which was released by Tiffany Films, and" Hell's Angels"( 1930), released by United Artists, he directed a dozen films for Universal Pictures between 1931 and 1937, developing a style characterized by the influence of German Expressionism and a highly mobile camera. At the height of his career as a director Whale directed" The Road Back"( 1937), a sequel to" All Quiet on the Western Front". Studio interference, possibly spurred by political pressure from Nazi Germany, led to the film's being altered from Whale's vision and it was a critical and commercial failure. A run of similar box- office disappointments followed and, while he would make one final short film in 1950, by 1941 his film directing career was effectively over. He continued to direct for the stage and also rediscovered his love for painting and travel. His investments made him wealthy and he lived a comfortable retirement until suffering strokes in 1956 that robbed him of his vigor and left him in pain. He committed suicide on 29 May 1957 by drowning himself in his swimming pool. Whale was openly gay throughout his career, something that was very unusual in the 1920s and 1930s. As knowledge of his sexual orientation has become more common, some of his films," Bride of Frankenstein" in particular, have been interpreted as having a gay subtext and it has been claimed that his refusal to remain in the closet led to the end of his career. With the outbreak of World War I he enlisted in the British Army and became an officer. <SEP> He directed 40 film between 1910 and 1927. His wife Asta Nielsen starred in 30 of his films, also in his début the famous film" Afgrunden The Abyss") from 1910. They moved to Germany in 1911 where Gad worked with Paul Davidson until 1922. His uncle was Paul Gauguin. Peter Urban Gad( 12 February 1879 in Korsør, Denmark – 26 December 1947 in Copenhagen, Denmark) was a Danish film director. His mother was the( in Denmark) very well known playwright and expert of good manners Emma Gad. His films include a German- language adaptation of Gerhart Hauptmann's play" The Assumption of Hannele", which Gad directed in 1922. <SEP> The movie was written by Preston Sturges based on the plays of Marcel Pagnol and the films based on them, and was directed by James Whale( director of" Frankenstein" and" The Invisible Man"). Port of Seven Seas is a 1938 drama film starring Wallace Beery and featuring Frank Morgan and Maureen O'Sullivan. The cinematography is by Karl Freund, who filmed Fritz Lang's" Metropolis" and" I Love Lucy". <SEP> Mr. Right is a 2009 British film directed by David Morris and Jacqui Morris. The jointly- made gay- themed film is the debut for both directors. <SEP> Raiders of the Seven Seas is a 1953 swashbuckler film.
