Question: Do both Monika (1974 Film) and Banana Ridge (Film) films have the directors from the same country?

Mark Lewis( born 1958 in Mullumbimby, Australia) is an Australian documentary film and television producer, director and writer. He is famous for his film and for his body of work on animals. Unlike many other producers of nature films, his films do not attempt to document the animals in question or their behaviors but rather the complex relationships between people and society and the animals they interact with. His films have earned him many awards, including a British Academy Award nomination, a nomination from the Directors Guild of America, two Emmy ’s for Outstanding Direction in documentary film, and an Emmy Award for Outstanding Science Program on American Television. <SEP> The film is based on a 1938 stage play of the same name by Ben Travers. It was made at Welwyn Studios. Michael Denison accompanied his wife Dulcie Gray for her screen test for the film, which led some years later to his casting in his breakthrough role in" My Brother Jonathan". The film was a success at the box office. Hare and Drayton appeared together in another comedy" Women Are n't Angels" the following year. Two colleagues come to worry that a mysterious young man may be their son from liaisons with the same woman during the First World War. They are persuaded to give him a job at" Banana Ridge" one of the company's rubber plantations in the Malay States. Banana Ridge is a 1942 British comedy film directed by Walter C. Mycroft and starring Robertson Hare, Alfred Drayton and Isabel Jeans. The young man's romance with the bosses' daughter threatens this plan, as does his mother's plan to reveal who is his real father. <SEP> Monika is a 1974 Italian comedy film directed by Mario Imperoli.

He was by his own account the principal author of Hitchcock's first BIP film" The Ring"( 1927), and credited as the author of the original story on which" Champagne"( 1928) was based. Walter Charles Mycroft( 1890 – 14 June 1959) was a British novelist, screenwriter, film producer and director. Their friendship does not seem to have survived their collaboration.
