- Forlag
The life and career of the pioneering writer-director whose name is synonymous with sophisticated screwball comedies.
Preston Sturges was known for bringing sophistication and wit to the genre of comedy, establishing himself as one of the most valuable writer-directors in 1940s Hollywood. Today, more than a half century after they were originally produced, his films have lost little of their edge and remain extremely popular.
Intrepid Laughter is an essential guide to the life and work of this luminary of the stage and screen, following Sturges from his unusual childhood, to his early success as a Broadway playwright, to his whirlwind career in Hollywood.
