Splitting by a pattern

You are given the movies list where each element stores a movie name, its release date, and the director (e.g. "The Godfather, 1972, Francis Ford Coppola").

Let's practice some splitting with the help of regular expressions. Your task is to retrieve from each element of the list its name and the director. For example, if the element is "The Godfather, 1972, Francis Ford Coppola", the result would be:

['The Godfather', 'Francis Ford Coppola']

Eventually, this result should be modified to represent a single string, e.g.

"The Godfather, Francis Ford Coppola"
