Question: Which film whose director was born first, Final Appointment or Sawan Aya Re?

He was the first to bring gothic horror alive in full colour, and the sexual overtones and explicit horror in his films, while mild by modern standards, were unprecedented in his day. Terence Fisher( 23 February 1904 – 18 June 1980) was a British film director best known for his work for Hammer Films. His first major gothic horror film was" The Curse of Frankenstein"( 1957), which launched Hammer's association with the genre and made British actors Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee leading horror stars of the era. He went on to film several adaptations of classic horror subjects, including" Dracula"( 1958)," The Mummy"( 1959), and" The Curse of the Werewolf"( 1961). Given their subject matter and lurid approach, Fisher's films, though commercially successful, were largely dismissed by critics during his career. It is only in recent years that Fisher has become recognised as an" auteur" in his own right. His most famous films are characterised by a blend of fairytale myth and the supernatural alongside themes of sexuality, morality, and ‘ the charm of evil ’. Drawing heavily on a Christian conservative outlook, there is often a hero who defeats the powers of darkness by a combination of faith in God and reason, in contrast to other characters, who are either blindly superstitious or bound by cold, godless rationalism. For detailed discussions of Fisher's work, see" Terence Fisher: Horror, Myth, and Religion" by Paul Leggett( McFarland and Co, 2002)," British Film Makers: Terence Fisher" by Peter Hutchings( Manchester University Press, 2013), and" The Films of Terence Fisher: Hammer Horror and Beyond" by Wheeler Winston Dixon( Auteur Publishing, 2017). <SEP> He appeared in 22 films between 1937 and 1980. He directed 20 films between 1942 and 1974. His directorial venture Kuwara Baap was one of the winners for the BFJA- Best Indian Films Award for best film for 1943. His film" Raja" has been called" a milestone of art and skill in motion pictures". His film Verr Kunal was a huge box office success. He directed Dilip Kumar with Kamini Kaushal in Nadiya Ke Paar, which became the sixth highest grossing Indian film of 1948. His 1954 film Mayurpankh was entered into the 1954 Cannes Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Grand Prize of the Festival. Sawan Aya Re did well commercially, with Baburao Patel of" Filmindia" remarking in the 9 May 1949 edition that Sahu's estimate had risen due to the" original treatment" he gave to an" otherwise ordinary" story. He was also known for the Meena Kumari starrer," Dil Apna Aur Preet Parai"( 1960). He had four children, Vimal Sahu, Naina Sahu, Mamta Sahu, and Rohit Sahu. His wife Preeti was a Kumaoni Brahmin. Kishore Sahu( 22 November 1915 – 22 August 1980) was an Indian actor, film director, screenwriter, and producer. Before getting married to Preeti, he was briefly married to his Punar Milan( 1940) co-star Snehprabha Pradhan before the relationship ended in 1943 after a court battle. <SEP> Sitre(" Daughter of Re") or Tia- Sitre, was the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Ramesses I of Egypt and mother of Seti I. <SEP> Produced by Sahu under his" Hindustan Chitra" banner, it had Khemchand Prakash as the music director. The cast included Kishore Sahu, Ramola, David, Pratima Devi, Ramesh Gupta, Sofia and Mohana. The film was a romantic triangle set against the backdrop of a hill station, Nainital. Sawan Aya Re( The Monsoon Has Come) is a 1949 Hindi romantic drama film, directed by Kishore Sahu. A family arrives on a holiday, but the father is more keen on finding bridegrooms for his three daughters. <SEP> It also featured Arthur Lowe, later to become famous for his portrayal of Captain Mainwaring in Dad's Army, in an early role. The film was produced by Francis Searle for Act Films Ltd, and was released in the U.S. as The Last Appointment. Final Appointment is a 1954 British comedy thriller film directed by Terence Fisher, and starring John Bentley, Eleanor Summerfield and Hubert Gregg.
