Crooked, but never common: the films of Preston Sturges

Instead of an introduction : a rhetoric of Preston Sturges

Ya can't get away from arithmetic : The great McGinty

He thinks he has ideas : Christmas in July

I'm not a poet, I'm an ophiologist : The Lady Eve

As you are, so shall you remain : Sullivan's travels

Topic A : The Palm Beach story

Homo sapiens, the wise guy : Triumph over pain

Psycholology : The miracle of Morgan's Creek

That's all you know how to hurt : Hail the conquering hero

You arouse the artist in me : The sin of Harold Diddlebock

Every emotion was exaggerated : Unfaithfully yours

Instead of a conclusion : a genealogy of Preston Sturges.
