Five Screenplays

Editorial Reviews
Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"The scripts . . . help to reveal Sturges's working process. . . . Henderson provides the reader with fascinating background information on the genesis and evolution of these pictures." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Charles Champlin, Los Angeles Times
"The scripts are demonstrations of comedy construction at its most expert and of the writing of vernacular dialogue at its most effective. . . . Henderson's book is not so much a reminder as a proof of what an original and gifted filmmaker Sturges was." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
