Did King Vidor and Joe D'Amato share the same nationality?
King Vidor King Wallis Vidor ( ; February 8, 1894 – November 1, 1982) was an American film director, film producer, and screenwriter whose career spanned nearly seven decades. In 1979, he was awarded an Honorary Academy Award for his "incomparable achievements as a cinematic creator and innovator." He was nominated five times for a Best Director Oscar, and won eight international film awards during his career. Vidor's best known films include "The Big Parade" (1925), "The Crowd" (1928), "Stella Dallas" (1937), and "Duel in the Sun" (1946). (He is not related to fellow director Charles Vidor).
Joe Cabot Joseph Claude Caputo, (July 12, 1921 – March 7, 2016), better known as Joe Cabot, was an American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, and musical director. He is best known for his responsive phrasing and mute-on/mute-off virtuosity. His original composition, "Slow Down, Sugar, Take Your Time," was praised by music critic John Wilson and likened to the stylings of the Nat Cole Trio in an Oct. 31, 1982 piece in the "New York Times"' Arts and Leisure section. In addition to trumpet, Cabot also played the Flugelhorn.
