About this title: This volume of scripts focuses on three screenplays written but not directed by Preston Sturges. Included are "The Power and the Glory", which influenced Welles in the conception of "Citizen Kane", and the romantic comedies "Remember the Night" and "Easy Living". The scripts cast light on Sturges collaboration with directors Mitchell Leisen and William K. Howard and in the introduction Andrew Horton analyzes the contributions of Sturges to the film comedy genre and to Hollywood film history.
