 Preston Sturges, born Edmund Preston Biden on August 29, 1898 in Chicago, Illinois, is credited as one of the first directors to direct his own written script. His great sense of comic timing on films such as "The Great Mc Ginty(1940)", "Sullivan's Travels(1941)" and "Hail the Conquering Hero(1944)" fuses seamlessly with a compassionate political concern for the plight of ordinary men and women caught in the economic chaos of the depression and the second war. Check out "The Good Fairy (1935)" which he wrote and was directed by another great director "William Wyler"
