Question: Are the directors of both films I Aim At The Stars and The Three Rats (Film) from the same country?

During World War II, Egbert White( 1894–1976) had a major role in establishing newspapers for US soldiers that were written and edited by enlisted men, not by the Army top command. He had served with the Stars and Stripes newspaper during World War I and between the wars worked in advertising. Within a month after Pearl Harbor, he proposed a magazine by soldiers for soldiers to General Frederick Osborn. This proposal was accepted, and became Yank magazine. He accepted a commission as lieutenant colonel. White was removed from the Yank staff in 1942 by General Osborn and was ordered overseas to serve with the Stars and Stripes newspaper. He was in charge of the North African/ Mediterranean edition of Stars and Stripes from its beginning in December 1942 to mid 1944. He insisted that this newspaper too should be for the enlisted men not the high command. Bill Mauldin began drawing cartoons for the Stars and Stripes while White was in charge of it. White encouraged Mauldin to accept offers to syndicate his cartoons to US newspapers, and helped Mauldin find a literary agent. In mid 1944, he was sent home because he wanted to run excerpts from US newspapers about the 1944 Presidential campaign in Stars and Stripes, and the army command forbade this. <SEP> I It was directed by J. Lee Thompson. Aim at the Stars is a 1960 biographical film which tells the story of the life of Wernher von Braun. The film covers his life from his early days in Germany, through Peenemünde, until his work with the U.S. Army, NASA, and the American space program. The film stars Curt Jürgens, Victoria Shaw, Herbert Lom, Gia Scala, and James Daly. The movie was written by Jay Dratler based on a story by George Froeschel, H. W. John, and Udo Wolter. It was shot at the Bavaria Studios in Munich, with sets designed by the art director Hans Berthel. The film was premiered in Munich on 19 August 1960; it subsequently opened in New York City and Los Angeles on 19 October and London on 24 November. In Germany the film was titled" Ich greife nach den Sternen I Reach for the Stars"). In Italy the film was released as" Alla Conquista dell' Infinito". Satirist Mort Sahl and others are often credited with suggesting the subtitle"( But Sometimes I Hit London)", but in fact the line appears in the film itself, spoken by actor James Daly, who plays the cynical American press officer. Dell published a comic book adaptation of the film with art by Jack Sparling as Four Color# 1148( Oct. 1960). <SEP> It is an adaptation of Alfredo Pareja Diezcanseco's 1944 novel of the same title. The Three Rats( Spanish: Las Tres Ratas) is a 1946 Argentine drama film directed by Carlos Schlieper and starring Mecha Ortiz, Amelia Bence and María Duval. <SEP> Carlos Schlieper( 23 September 1902 – 11 April 1957 in Buenos Aires) was an Argentine film director and screenwriter of the classic era. He directed some 30 films between 1939 and 1957, writing for over 20 of them. He was particularly noted for his romantic comedies in 1940s and 1950s, directing films such as" La serpiente de cascabel"( 1948)," Arroz con leche"( 1950)," Cuando besa mi marido"( 1950)," Mi mujer está loca"( 1952) and" Mi marido y mi novio"( 1955). He directed" Alejandra" in 1956 and died on 11 April 1957. <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> John Lee Thompson (1 August 1914 – 30 August 2002) was a British film director, active in London and Hollywood, best known for such movies as "Ice Cold in AlexCape Fear" and "The Guns of Navarone".
