Opis

Most works on writer-director Preston Sturges (1898-1959) have focused on the elements that made him a symbol of classic Hollywood comedy. This title asserts that there are unexplained incongruities, fragmentations and contradictions in Sturges' output to demand a reevaluation of his place in film history as a predecessor of postmodern filmmakers.
