Question: Are the directors of both films Black and Tan (film) and Hey Boy (film) from the same country?

It is the first film to feature Duke Ellington and His Orchestra performing as a jazz band, and was also the film debut of actress Fredi Washington. Black and Tan( 1929) is a musical short film written and directed by Dudley Murphy about a couple in the performing arts; it is set during the contemporary Harlem Renaissance in New York City. The film is thought to express the emergence of African- American artists in New York City during the Harlem Renaissance. In 2015, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it" culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". <SEP> Hey Boy( also known as" No Stealing" and" Guagilo") is a 1948 Italian drama film directed by Luigi Comencini and starring Adolfo Celi. A missionary on his way to Africa has his suitcase stolen in Naples. While trying to locate it, he comes to realise the suffering and poverty in the city, and decides his work is needed there. <SEP> Hey Boy! Hey Girl! is a 1959 American musical film directed by David Lowell Rich. It stars Louis Prima and Keely Smith. <SEP> Dudley Murphy( July 10, 1897 – February 22, 1968) was an American film director. Murphy was born on July 10, 1897 in Winchester, Massachusetts, to the artists Caroline Hutchinson( Bowles) Murphy( 1868- 1923) and Hermann Dudley Murphy( 1867- 1945, and whom his son was named for), both accomplished Modernist landscape painters. After first finding work as a journalist, Dudley Murphy began making films in the early 1920s. In his first short film," Soul of the Cypress"( 1921), a variation on the Orpheus myth, the film's protagonist falls in love with a dryad( a wood nymph whose soul dwells in an ancient tree) and throws himself into the sea to become immortal and spend eternity with her. Murphy's then- wife Chase Harringdine played the dryad. Murphy followed this with" Danse Macabre"( 1922) featuring Adolph Bolm, Olin Howland, and Ruth Page. Both of these early films are in the DVD collection issued in October 2005( see link below). Murphy's eighth film," Ballet mécanique", which he co-directed with the French artist Fernand Léger, premiered on 24 September 1924 at the Internationale Ausstellung neuer Theatertechnik( International Exposition for New Theater Technique) in Vienna. Considered one of the masterpieces of early experimental filmmaking," Ballet mécanique" also included creative input from Man Ray and Ezra Pound, and was presented at the exposition by Frederick Kiesler. The film was scheduled to be screened with George Antheil's masterpiece of the same name. However, the music ran close to 30 minutes, while the film was 17 minutes long. In 2000, Paul Lehrman produced a married print of the film. In her book" Dudley Murphy: Hollywood Wild Card", film historian Susan Delson argues persuasively that Murphy was the film's driving force but that Léger was more successful at promoting the film as his own creation. " Ballet mécanique", with the George Antheil music originally written for the film, was included in the DVD collection released in October 2005. In addition to" Ballet mécanique", Murphy is best remembered for" St. Louis Blues"( 1929) with Bessie Smith and Jimmy Mordecai," Black and Tan"( 1929) with Duke Ellington and His Orchestra," Confessions of a Co- Ed"( 1931)," The Sport Parade"( 1932) with Joel McCrea, and" The Emperor Jones"( 1933), starring Paul Robeson. In 1932, Murphy helped introduce the Mexican artist David Alfaro Siqueiros to prominent people in the Los Angeles community. To show his gratitude, Siqueiros painted a mural on a wall in Murphy's Pacific Palisades home. The only intact mural by Siqueiros in the United States," Portrait of Mexico Today" was donated anonymously to the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in 1999. From the late 1940s through the 1960s Murphy and his fourth wife, Virginia, owned and operated Holiday House, an exclusive Malibu hotel designed by Richard Neutra and favored by the Hollywood elite. <SEP> Together with Dino Risi, Ettore Scola and Mario Monicelli, he was considered among the masters of the" commedia all'italiana" genre. His daughters Cristina and Francesca are both film directors. Luigi Comencini( 8 June 1916 – 6 April 2007) was an Italian film director. <SEP> Sorga Ka Toedjoe( vernacular Malay for" Seventh Heaven"; also advertised under the Dutch title In Den Zevenden Hemel) is a 1940 film from the Dutch East Indies( present- day Indonesia) directed by Joshua and Othniel Wong for Tan's Film. It follows an older couple( Kartolo and Annie Landouw) who are reunited by another, younger couple( Roekiah and Djoemala) after years of separation. The black- and- white film, the first production by Tan's Film after the departure of Rd Mochtar, featured" kroncong" music and was targeted at lower- class native audiences. It was a commercial and critical success. Roekiah and Djoemala took leading roles in three more films before Tan's closed in 1942. " Sorga Ka Toedjoe" is now thought lost.
