Introduction

Preston Sturges "famously wrote & directed these classic comedies":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preston_Sturges#Screenwriting_heights during a furious five-year burst of activity from `39 to `43. Four of them have been declared among the 100 funniest movies of all time by the AFI. No argument about the first two, as described below. Need another reason to view them? The legendary "Edith Head's":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Head fabulous costuming. Is "Sturges":http://www.prestonsturges.net/ the greatest writer-director ever? He's in the conversation.
