Items related to Preston Sturges's Vision of America: Critical Analyses...
Preston Sturges' independence was at least partially responsible for his unique filmmaking style, marked by razor-sharp dialogue, wild plot turns and wondrously original supporting characters. Works such as The Power and the Glory, The Lady Eve and The Sin of Harold Diddlebock offer a distinctive and often satirical view of American life, deflating many of the ideals (honesty, justice, hard work, democracy, and others) that Americans feel a need to embrace. Each entry includes full filmographic data, a plot synopsis, and critical analysis of the movie.

Review:
"Discusses fourteen features, offering credits, lengthy synopses and readable commentary on each." --Classic Images
"Detailed...delivered in a straightforward and highly entertaining text. What a relief that this examination of Sturges' snappy comedies isn't a dull, pedantic exercise in boredom like so many film analyses." --Past Times
