Question: Are the directors of both films Panic (2000 Film) and How I Won The War from the same country?

How I Won the War is a 1967 British black comedy film directed and produced by Richard Lester, based on a novel of the same name by Patrick Ryan. The film stars Michael Crawford as bungling British Army Officer Lieutenant Earnest Goodbody, with John Lennon( in his only non-musical role, as Musketeer Gripweed), Jack MacGowran( Musketeer Juniper), Roy Kinnear( Musketeer Clapper) and Lee Montague( Sergeant, although referred to by the equivalent, albeit fictional rank of" Corporal of Musket" Transom) as soldiers under his command. The film uses an inconsistent variety of styles—vignette, straight- to- camera, and, extensively, parody of the war film genre, docu- drama, and popular war literature—to tell the story of 3rd Troop, the 4th Musketeers( a fictional regiment reminiscent of the Royal Fusiliers and the Household Cavalry) and their misadventures in the Second World War. This is told in the comic/ absurdist vein throughout, a central plot being the setting- up of an" Advanced Area Cricket Pitch" behind enemy lines in North Africa, but it is all broadly based on the Western Desert Campaign in mid-late 1942 and the crossing of the last intact bridge on the Rhine at Remagen in early 1945.

Both films were directed and written by Travis Mathews. The drama films both revolve around the friends and ex-lovers of Jesse Metzger, a gay man in his mid-thirties who is forced to move back to his hometown from San Francisco due to financial reasons. The actors' own names, along with much of their real- life stories, were used for their characters in both films, which features graphic sexual scenes. The production of both films was aided by the gay pornographic studio NakedSword. This led to the full- length film being refused exemption from classification, which would have allowed it to screen at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, a decision to which actor James Franco( who invited Mathews to collaborate on Franco's film" Interior. Leather Bar.") reacted negatively.
