Preston Sturges was the great writer and director of Hollywood
screwball comedies of the thirties and forties. Sullivan's Travels,
The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, and The Great McGinty have become
film classics, demonstrating brilliant, inventive writing and
directing. At the height of his career, Sturges had not only won an
Academy Award but was also one of the most highly paid executives
in the country.
The only account of his life in his own words, Preston Sturges
by Preston Sturges unveils the source of his extraordinary
creativity: a life that was every bit as antic and unconventional
as his movies. From growing up in Europe with a mother whose best
friend was Isadora Duncan to making his way among the beau monde of
New York -- including a marriage to Barbara Hutton's cousin Eleanor
-- Sturges drew on a wealth of madcap experiences to create films
of unprecedented comic originality. Working with her husband's
wonderfully descriptive journals, Sandy Sturges has woven a
captivating narrative that reveals a man of remarkable intellect,
energy, and warmth.
