普雷斯顿·斯特奇斯：一个美国梦想家的兴衰 (1990)

　　This documentary, made for PBS' American Masters series, explores the life and career of the renowned screenwriter and director Preston Sturges (1898-1959), whose few but very influential films managed to change the entire film industry. The documentary features clips from his films, and interviews with those who knew him well, including ex-wives. He was the first screenwriter to make the move to become a film director. He is best known for his unerringly light touch in dealing humorously with difficult topics, and directed one of the first widely successful spoofs of Hollywood, The Great McGinty. The director had a life as eventful and fraught with coincidences as anything in the movies, and this is recounted also. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide 　　译文(2): 这部纪录片是为美国公共广播公司(PBS)的“美国大师系列”制作的，探讨了著名编剧兼导演普雷斯顿 · 斯特奇斯(Preston Sturges，1898-1959)的生活和职业生涯。斯特奇斯的影片虽然不多，但却非常有影响力，成功地改变了整个电影业。这部纪录片以他的电影片段为特色，并采访了包括他的前妻们在内的熟人。他是第一个成为电影导演的编剧。他以幽默地处理棘手问题而著称，并执导了最早获得广泛成功的好莱坞恶搞江湖异人传之一。导演的一生和电影中的任何事情一样充满了事件和巧合，这也被叙述了。~ Clarke Fountain，All Movie Guide
