"...[Preston Sturges' screenplays] constitute an unrivaled burst of Hollywood creativity--movies that are caustic, boisterous, tumultuous, naughty, witty, and laced with surprising tomfoolery by actors who had rarely excelled in film comedy before (Fonda, Stanwyck, McCrea, Harrison, Vallee, and Mary Astor), not to mention crack supporting work by a stable of character players. On the strength of this period Sturges belongs with the great writer-directors, the true auteurs: the likes of Chaplin, Keaton, and Bergman."Sturges, Preston is the author of 'Five Screenplays' with ISBN 9780520055643 and ISBN 0520055640.
