Question: Are the directors of both films The Plunderer (1915 film) and The Italian Job from the same country?

The Hot Potato is a comedy crime thriller film from 2011. It was directed and written by Tim Lewiston and stars Ray Winstone, Colm Meaney and Jack Huston in the lead roles. This British film is a throwback to the crime caper films that were popular in the 1960s and pays homage to several of these, including" The Italian Job". <SEP> It tells the story of Charlie Croker (Michael Caine), the leader of a cockney criminal gang released from prison with the intention of doing a "big job" in Italy to steal gold bullion from an armoured security truck. Its soundtrack was composed by Quincy Jones, and includes "On Days Like These" sung by Matt Monro over the opening credits, and "Getta Bloomin' Move On" (usually referred to as "The Self-Preservation Society", after its chorus) during the climactic car chase. Lead actor Michael Caine is among its singers. The popularity of the film has led to parodies and allusions in other films and productions, including a 2003 remake, a reference in "The Simpsons" episode "The Italian Bob", and a re-enactment of the Mini Cooper car-chase in the "MacGyver" episode “Thief of Budapest”. The film has inspired The Italian Job charity event that has taken place annually since 1990 and involves Minis and other vehicles featured in the original film, driving from the UK to northern Italy and back, visiting Grand Prix circuits, historic Italian cities and the locations in Turin featured in the film, while fundraising for children's charities. The Italian Job is a 1969 British comedy caper film, written by Troy Kennedy Martin, produced by Michael Deeley and directed by Peter Collinson. The event has raised nearly £2,600,000 so far. Marking the 50th anniversary of the film, in June 2019, stunt drivers in red, white and blue Coopers recreated parts of the film's famous car-chase around Turin at the grounds of Mini's Oxford factory. <SEP> Edgar Lewis began his career as a stage actor and entered the film industry in 1911 as an actor, making his directorial debut two years later.
