The publication by the University of California Press of Five
Screenplays by Preston Sturges and Four More Screenplays by Preston
Sturges has been applauded by cinephiles and admirers of the
director's work, and recognized as a major contribution to the
history of American cinema. In this third volume of scripts by one
of Hollywood's wisest and wittiest filmmakers, the focus turns to
those screenplays written but not directed by Sturges. Included in
the new collection are "The Power and the Glory", which greatly
influenced Orson Welles in the conception of "Citizen Kane", and
the romantic comedies "Remember the Night and Easy Living". The
scripts reveal Sturges in top form as a writer of dialogue and
prove beyond any possible doubt his authorship of the films, which
frequently appear indistinguishable on-screen from those he himself
directed. Full of surprises and delights, these "Three More
Screenplays" are essential reading for students of American cinema
and admirers of Sturges. They cast new light on his collaborations
with directors Mitchell Leisen and William K. Howard, and provide a
rousing conclusion to the writings of this Hollywood master. In his
substantial introduction to the volume, film historian and
screenplay writer Andrew Horton analyzes the contributions of
Sturges to the film comedy genre and to Hollywood film history.
