Question: Which film has the director who was born later, Frontier Law or Under The Roofs Of Paris?

A collaborator of D.W. Griffith, he appeared in" The Birth of a Nation"( 1915) and" Intolerance"( 1916) before giving up acting in 1917 to concentrate on work behind the camera, with Griffith and Joseph Henabery as his mentors. His first feature- length solo effort as a director was" The Flame of Youth" with Jack Mulhall. Clifton honed his talents during the late 1910s, directing vehicles for Mulhall and Herbert Rawlinson at Universal and then for Dorothy Gish for Famous Players- Lasky. Two of his projects with Gish," Nobody Home" and" Nugget Nell", featured performances from pre-stardom Rudolph Valentino. Most of this early output has been lost. He was the first filmmaker to discover the talents of Clara Bow, whom he cast in" Down to the Sea in Ships", released on March 4, 1923. The independently produced film was well reviewed for its visual authenticity. Elmer Clifton( March 14, 1890 – October 15, 1949) was an American writer, director and actor from the early silent days. During the 1920s, Clifton directed films for several different studios. During the filming of" The Warrens of Virginia"( 1924) for Fox Film Corporation, lead actress Martha Mansfield suffered a fatal accident from burns when her costume caught fire. Clifton directed" The Wreck of the Hesperus" for Cecil B. deMille's production company, and filmed on location in the Grand Canyon for" The Bride of the Colorado". He also directed some Technicolor short films, including" Manchu Love" with an all- Asian cast. In the sound era, Clifton wrote and directed many poverty row Westerns and" exploitation" classics, among them the anti-marijuana polemic" Assassin of Youth"( 1937). He also directed the vice films" Gambling with Souls"( 1936)," Slaves in Bondage"( 1937) and" City of Missing Girls"( 1941), all of which portrayed addiction and white slavery to some degree. His last film was" Not Wanted"( 1949), which was finished by producer Ida Lupino when Clifton became ill and was unable to work anymore. He died in 1949 of a cerebral hemorrhage shortly after the film's release. <SEP> The film stars Russell Hayden, Fuzzy Knight, Dennis Moore, Jennifer Holt, Jack Ingram, Wally Wales, George Eldredge, I. Stanford Jolley and Frank LaRue. The film was released on November 5, 1943, by Universal Pictures. Frontier Law is a 1943 American Western film written and directed by Elmer Clifton. <SEP> Under the Roofs of Paris is a 1930 French film directed by René Clair. The film was probably the earliest French example of a filmed musical- comedy, although its often dark tone differentiates it from other instances of the genre. This was an early example of sound film in France, along with" Miss Europe" and" L' Age d' Or". However," Under the Roofs of Paris" was the first French production of the sound film era to achieve great international success. <SEP> L'Age d'Or , commonly translated as The Golden Age or Age of Gold, is a 1930 French surrealist satirical comedy film directed by Luis Buñuel about the insanities of modern life, the hypocrisy of the sexual mores of bourgeois society, and the value system of the Catholic Church. The screenplay is by Salvador Dalí and Buñuel. " L'Age d'Or" was one of the first sound films made in France, along with "Miss Europe" and "Under the Roofs of Paris". <SEP> Gratiot's Grove was a mining settlement and later, a frontier fort, during the Black Hawk War, in Michigan Territory( later Lafayette County, Wisconsin). <SEP> He first established his reputation in the 1920s as a director of silent films in which comedy was often mingled with fantasy. He went on to make some of the most innovative early sound films in France, before going abroad to work in the UK and USA for more than a decade. Returning to France after World War II, he continued to make films that were characterised by their elegance and wit, often presenting a nostalgic view of French life in earlier years. He was elected to the Académie française in 1960. Clair's best known films include" The Italian Straw Hat"( 1928)," Under the Roofs of Paris"( 1930)," Le Million"( 1931)," À nous la liberté"( 1931)," I Married a Witch"( 1942), and" And Then There Were None"( 1945). René Clair( 11 November 1898 – 15 March 1981) born René- Lucien Chomette, was a French filmmaker and writer.
