EPISODE 37 Preston Sturges Pt. IV- A Pratfall is Better Than Anything
49m · PublishedThank you for joining us for the fourth and final part of the series on the life and career of Preston Sturges. Unfortunately, he's a jerk in this one and his later films are... simply not good, so you'll find this to be a somewhat downbeat episode. We'll make sure something short and sweet is next, so look forward to that!
Preston Sturges (1898 - 1959) birth name Edmund Preston Biden - writer, director, producer
Part IV of IV
Must see movies:
- Sullivan’s Travels (1941)
- The Lady Eve (1941)
- Christmas in July (1940)
Runner Up: Palm Beach Story (1942)
Full Quote from the Title: "A pretty girl is better than a plain one. A leg is better than an arm. A bedroom is better than a living room. An arrival is better than a departure. A birth is better than a death. A chase is better than a chat. A dog is better than a landscape. A kitten is better than a dog. A baby is better than a kitten. A kiss is better than a baby. A pratfall is better than anything." -Preston Sturges
Other Music: Opening credits Sullivan's Travels, The Lady Eve, and Palm Beach Story.
