Preston Sturges by Preston Sturges September, 1998: barnesandnoble.com announces the availability of Preston Sturges By Preston Sturges (His Life In His Words). This book was put together by Sandy Sturges, adapting and editing the countless notes, quotes, and stories Preston Sturges left behind. "Magnificent...I savored it. He wrote beautifully-and his loving nostalgic reminiscences make me wish I'd been born fifty years sooner. It was a pleasure to read this book" -David Mamet "A firsthand glimpse into the personal side which formed the man responsible for arguably the brightest comic cinema to come out of the studio system. Preston Sturges make outstanding social comedies with a profound understanding of human nature-perhaps because his life was filled with the same twists of fate that could bring a reflective, literate, and cultivated man...to, of all places, Hollywood. His amazing journey and the collage of people and events he observed along the way (many of which he captured on film) read like a plot from one of his own movies." -Martin Scorsese For other books on Preston Sturges, visit our Links page. { Home | Biography | Filmography | Excerpts | 100 Years | Gallery | Links | Bibliography | DVD } © 1998 Sandy Sturges
