Question: Which film has the director died earlier, The Teahouse Of The Ten Lotus Flowers or Doppelgänger (1969 Film)?

The Teahouse of the Ten Lotus Flowers( German: Das Teehaus zu den zehn Lotosblumen) is a 1919 German silent crime film( filmed in color) directed by Georg Jacoby and starring Ellen Richter, Victor Janson and Meinhart Maur. The film's sets were designed by the art director Kurt Richter. <SEP> Filmed by the Andersons' production company Century 21, it stars Roy Thinnes, Ian Hendry, Lynn Loring, Loni von Friedl and Patrick Wymark. Outside Europe, it was released as Journey to the Far Side of the Sun, the title by which it is now more commonly known. Set in 2069, the film concerns a joint European- NASA mission to investigate a newly- discovered planet that lies parallel to Earth on the other side of the Sun. The mission ends in disaster when one of the astronauts( Hendry) is killed, after which his colleague( Thinnes) realises that the planet is a mirror image of Earth. The first major live- action film to be produced by the Andersons – then best known for children's puppet television series such as" Thunderbirds Doppelgänger" was shot between July and October 1968 at Pinewood Studios and on location in England and Portugal. The relationship between Parrish and the Andersons became strained as filming progressed, while creative disagreements between Gerry Anderson and his business partner John Read, the film's director of photography, led to Read's dismissal from Century 21. Although the Andersons wrote adult themes into the script in an attempt to distinguish" Doppelgänger" from their children's productions, cuts were needed to allow the film to be certified A by the British Board of Film Censors. Actors and props from the film were re-used during the production of the Andersons' first live- action TV series," UFO". " Doppelgänger" premiered in August 1969 in the United States and October 1969 in the United Kingdom. While the film has been praised for its special effects and set design, some commentators have judged the parallel Earth premise to be clichéd and uninspired. Some of the plot devices and imagery have been viewed as poor pastiches of other science- fiction films, such as( 1968). Doppelgänger is a 1969 British science- fiction film written by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson and Donald James and directed by Robert Parrish. It has been described as a cult film. <SEP> Vernon J.
