Such a lot released works on writer-director Preston Sturges (1898-1959) have fascinated by the weather that made him a logo of vintage Hollywood comedy or his contributions to the style through such Forties classics because the girl Eve, Sullivan's Travels and Miracle of Morgan's Creek. against this, this severe research asserts that there are sufficient unexplained incongruities, fragmentations and contradictions in Sturges' output to call for a re-evalution of his position in movie heritage as a predecessor (and might be progenitor) of later postmodern filmmakers. 4 appendices supply a beneficiant choice of formerly unavailable fabric, together with an unique interview with the director's fourth spouse Sandy Sturges.
