In this third volume of scripts by one of Hollywoods wisest and wittiest filmmakers  the focus turns to those screenplays written but not directed by Sturges.  Included in the new collection are The Power and the Glory  which greatly influenced Orson Welles in the conception of Citizen Kane  and the romantic comedies Remember the Night and Easy Living. The scripts reveal Sturges in top form as a writer of dialogue and prove beyond any possible doubt his authorship of the films  which frequently appear indistinguishable on-screen from those he himself directed.  Full of surprises and delights  these Three More Screenplays are essential reading for students of American cinema and admirers of Sturges. They cast new light on his collaborations with directors Mitchell Leisen and William K. Howard  and provide a rousing conclusion to the writings of this Hollywood master. In his substantial introduction to the volume  film historian and screenplay writer Andrew Horton analyzes the contributions of Sturges to the film comedy genre and to Hollywood film history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985156960309,"sku":"ByrdShop_0520210042","price":30.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780520210042.jpg?v=1770849645","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/three-more-screenplays-by-preston-sturges-the-power-and-the-glory-easy-living-and-remember-the-night","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
