Question: Are the directors of both films Tarzan the Tiger and The Monster of Frankenstein (film) from the same country?

The Bride of Frankenstein is a 1935 American science- fiction horror film, the first sequel to Universal Pictures' 1931 hit" Frankenstein". It is widely regarded as one of the greatest sequels in cinematic history, with many fans and critics considering it to be an improvement on the original" Frankenstein". As with the first film," Bride of Frankenstein" was directed by James Whale and stars Boris Karloff as the Monster. The sequel features Elsa Lanchester in the dual role of Mary Shelley and the Monster's mate at the end of the film. Colin Clive reprises his role as Henry Frankenstein, and Ernest Thesiger plays the role of Doctor Septimus Pretorius. The movie starts as an immediate sequel to the events that concluded the earlier film, and is rooted in a subplot of the original Mary Shelley novel," Frankenstein"( 1818). In the film, a chastened Henry Frankenstein abandons his plans to create life, only to be tempted and finally coerced by his old mentor Dr. Pretorius, along with threats from the Monster, into constructing a mate for the Monster. The preparation to film the sequel began shortly after the premiere of the first film, but script problems delayed the project. Principal photography began in January 1935, with creative personnel from the original returning in front of and behind the camera. " Bride of Frankenstein" was released to critical and popular acclaim, although it encountered difficulties with some state and national censorship boards. Since it s release the film's reputation has grown, and it has been hailed as Whale's masterpiece. In 1998, the film was added to the United States National Film Registry, having been deemed" culturally, historically or aesthetically significant". <SEP> Henry Alexander MacRae( August 29, 1876 – October 2, 1944) was a Canadian film director, producer, and screenwriter during the silent era, working on many film serials for Universal Studios. One of a number of Canadian pioneers in early Hollywood, MacRae was credited with many innovations in film production, including artificial light for interiors, the wind machine, double exposures and shooting at night. <SEP> He directed and starred in "The Monster of Frankenstein" (1920), one of the earliest Italian horror films. Eugenio Testa (6 October 1892 – 11 October 1957) was an Italian actor and film director.

It was the third in the Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer" Tarzan" series to feature Johnny Weissmuller as the" King of the Apes". Previous films were" Tarzan the Ape Man"( 1932) and" Tarzan and His Mate"( 1934), with Jane's bikini- like attire and the famous skinny- dipping sequence. Weissmuller and O'Sullivan starred together in three more Tarzan films," Tarzan Finds a Son!"( 1939)," Tarzan's Secret Treasure"( 1941) and" Tarzan's New York Adventure"( 1942). <SEP> It was one of a very few Italian horror films produced in the silent era, since after Benito Mussolini seized control of the country, horror films were strictly forbidden. The Mary Shelley novel had been filmed twice before during the silent era, as Thomas Edison's" Frankenstein"( 1910) and as" Life Without Soul"( 1915). The Monster of Frankenstein( Italian title: Il mostro di Frankenstein) is a 1920 Italian silent horror film, produced by Luciano Albertini, directed by Eugenio Testa, starring Luciano Albertini, Aldo Mezzanotte and Umberto Guarracino, and is an adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel" Frankenstein". The film's running time was heavily cut down before its release, as it faced censorship issues. It was allegedly cut down to only 39 minutes. This is now considered a lost film, with only some production stills and promotional material remaining. It is believed the film disappeared soon after its initial release because it was so heavily edited, little of interest to audiences remained. Producer Albertini, also a well- known Italian actor in his day, played the role of Dr. Victor Frankenstein in this version. In 1924, he moved to America and starred in a Hollywood film called" The Iron Man", but afterwards moved back to Italy to resume his acting career there. He was confined to a mental institution later in life, where he died in 1945( the same year Mussolini was killed). <SEP> Tarzan the Tiger( 1929) is a Universal movie serial based on the novel" Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar" by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
