About this title: The scripts collected in this volume are drawn from the great period between 1939 and 1944, which Andrew Sarris called 'one of the most brilliant and most bizarre bursts of creation in the history of the cinema.' Sturge's scripts are astonishingly readable, being uncluttered with the usual studio jargon, and they are deliciously funny.
