Question: Are both directors of films Operation Mad Ball and Django (1966 Film) from the same country?

The screenplay is by Blake Edwards, Jed Harris, and Arthur Carter, based on an unproduced play by Carter. Operation Mad Ball is a 1957 military comedy from Columbia Pictures, produced by Jed Harris, directed by Richard Quine, that stars Jack Lemmon, Ernie Kovacs, Kathryn Grant, Arthur O'Connell, and Mickey Rooney. <SEP> A ball and chain is a type of restraint device. Ball and chain may also refer to: <SEP> A list of films produced in Uruguay. <SEP> The film follows a Union soldier- turned- drifter and his companion, a mixed- race prostitute, who become embroiled in a bitter, destructive feud between a gang of Confederate Red Shirts and a band of Mexican revolutionaries. Intended to capitalize on and rival the success of Sergio Leone's" A Fistful of Dollars", Corbucci's film is, like Leone's, considered to be a loose, unofficial adaptation of Akira Kurosawa's" Yojimbo". The film earned a reputation as one of the most violent films ever made at the time, and was subsequently refused a certificate in the United Kingdom until 1993, when it was issued an 18 certificate( the film was downgraded to a 15 certificate in 2004). A commercial success upon release," Django" has garnered a large cult following outside of Italy and is widely regarded as one of the best films of the Spaghetti Western genre, with the direction, Nero's performance, and Luis Bacalov's soundtrack most frequently being praised. Although the name is referenced in over thirty" sequels" from the time of the film's release until the early 1970s in an effort to capitalize on the success of the original, most of these films were unofficial, featuring neither Corbucci nor Nero. Django is a 1966 Italian Spaghetti Western film directed and co-written by Sergio Corbucci, starring Franco Nero( in his breakthrough role) as the title character alongside Loredana Nusciak, José Bódalo, Ángel Álvarez and Eduardo Fajardo. Nero reprised his role as Django in 1987's" Django Strikes Again", the only official sequel produced with Corbucci's involvement. Nero also made a cameo appearance in Quentin Tarantino's 2012 film" Django Unchained", as homage to Corbucci's original. John Sayles is working on a third official instalment in the film series, with Nero reprising his role. <SEP> He is best known both for his very violent spaghetti westerns and bloodless Bud Spencer and Terence Hill action comedies. Sergio Corbucci (6 December 1926 – 1 December 1990) was an Italian film director. He is the older brother of screenwriter and film director Bruno Corbucci. <SEP> He began acting as a child in radio, vaudeville, and stage productions before being signed to Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer in his early twenties. When his acting career began to wane after World War II, Quine began working as a film director. He later moved into producing and directing television. Richard Quine( November 12, 1920 – June 10, 1989) was an American stage, film, and radio actor and, later, a film director. Quine's films as director include" Bell Book and Candle"( 1958)," The World of Suzie Wong"( 1960)," Paris When It Sizzles"( 1964)," How to Murder Your Wife"( 1965), and" The Prisoner of Zenda"( 1979). Depressed over poor health, Quine died of a self- inflicted gunshot wound in June 1989 at the age of 68.
