    EPISODE 37 Preston Sturges Pt. IV- A Pratfall is Better Than Anything Feb 25, 2023
    Show notes

    Thank 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:

    1. Sullivan’s Travels (1941)
    2. The Lady Eve (1941)
    3. 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.
