Question: Are the directors of both films Holidate and The Sun Shines Bright from the same country?

While the Sun Shines is a 1947 British comedy film directed by Anthony Asquith and starring Barbara White, Ronald Squire, Brenda Bruce, Bonar Colleano, and Michael Allan. It was based on Terence Rattigan's 1943 play of the same name. <SEP> It stars Emma Roberts, Luke Bracey, Jake Manley, Jessica Capshaw, Andrew Bachelor, Frances Fisher, Manish Dayal and Kristin Chenoweth. Holidate is an upcoming American romantic comedy holiday film, directed by John Whitesell, from a screenplay by Tiffany Paulsen. <SEP> He has directed numerous films such as" Calendar Girl" and" Big Momma's House 2". He started his career as a film director in 1993. John Whitesell is an American television and film director. <SEP> He is renowned both for Westerns such as" Stagecoach"( 1939)," The Searchers"( 1956), and" The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"( 1962), as well as adaptations of classic 20th- century American novels such as the film" The Grapes of Wrath"( 1940). John Ford( February 1, 1894 – August 31, 1973) was an American film director. His four Academy Awards for Best Director( in 1935, 1940, 1941, and 1952) remain a record. One of the films for which he won the award," How Green Was My Valley", also won Best Picture. In a career that spanned more than 50 years, Ford directed more than 140 films( although most of his silent films are now lost) and he is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential filmmakers of his generation. Ford's work was held in high regard by his colleagues, with Orson Welles and Ingmar Bergman among those who have named him one of the greatest directors of all time. Ford made frequent use of location shooting and long shots, in which his characters were framed against a vast, harsh, and rugged natural terrain. <SEP> I Want Your Love is the title of both a 2010 short film and a 2012 feature- length film. 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. <SEP> The Sun Shines Bright is a 1953 American drama film directed by John Ford, based on material taken from a series of Irvin S. Cobb" Judge Priest" short stories featured in" The Saturday Evening Post" in the 1910s, specifically" The Sun Shines Bright The Mob from Massac", and" The Lord Provides". Ford had adapted some of the same material in 1934 in his film" Judge Priest". That film originally had a scene depicting an attempted lynching of Poindexter( and Priest ’s condemnation of the act), but it was cut by 20th Century Fox. The omission was one of the reasons Ford loosely reshaped the Cobb stories two decades later as" The Sun Shines Bright" for Republic Pictures, this time including Judge Priest's defusing of the mob determined to lynch a young black character named Woodford. In both films, Stepin Fetchit plays the part of Judge Priest's assistant, Poindexter. Ford often cited" The Sun Shines Bright" as his favorite among all his films, and in later years, it was championed by critics such as Jonathan Rosenbaum and Dave Kehr, who called it" a masterpiece".
