Most published works on writer-director Preston Sturges (1898-1959)
have focused on the elements that made him a symbol of classic
Hollywood comedy or his contributions to the genre via such 1940s
classics as ""The Lady Eve"", ""Sullivan's Travels"" and ""Miracle
of Morgan's Creek"". In contrast, this critical study asserts that
there are enough unexplained incongruities, fragmentations and
contradictions in Sturges' output to demand a re-evaluation of his
place in film history as a predecessor (and perhaps progenitor) of
later postmodern filmmakers. The five appendices include a generous
selection of previously unavailable material, an exclusive
interview with the director's fourth wife Sandy Sturges, and a
sequence-by-sequence comparison between the original script of
Sturges' controversial ""The Great Moment (1944)"" and the
drastically altered final film version.
