Preston Sturges with David Stratton Course October 13, 2012

At the end of the 1930s and the beginning of the 1940s, screenwriters like John Farrow, Billy Wilder and John Huston, long forced to see their scripts directed by others, were given the chance to bring their own work to the screen. Foremost among this group of writer-directors, at least for a brief, shining moment between 1940 and 1945, was Preston Sturges, who made some of the greatest comedies ever produced in Hollywood pungent satires with witty dialogue that are as funny today as ever they were.
