Preston Sturges (29 August 1898 – 6 August 1959), originally Edmund Preston Biden, was a celebrated screenwriter and film director born in Chicago. Sturges took the screwball comedy format of the 1930s to another level, writing dialogue that, heard today, is often surprisingly naturalistic, mature, and ahead of its time, despite the farcical situations. It is not uncommon for a Sturges character to deliver an exquisitely turned phrase and take an elaborate pratfall within the same scene.

- Preston Sturges (29 August 1898 – 6 August 1959), originally Edmund Preston Biden, was a celebrated screenwriter and film director born in Chicago. Sturges took the screwball comedy format of the 1930s to another level, writing dialogue that, heard today, is often surprisingly naturalistic, mature, and ahead of its time, despite the farcical situations. It is not uncommon for a Sturges character to deliver an exquisitely turned phrase and take an elaborate pratfall within the same scene. A love scene between Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck in The Lady Eve was enlivened by a horse, which repeatedly poked its nose into Fonda's head. Sturges is often credited as the first writer to direct his own script, but this is not true: Charlie Chaplin, for instance, was already writing and directing feature-length films by 1921. A few other major directors such as Frank Capra and Howard Hawks also preceded Sturges in making the leap from writing to directing, as did less celebrated figures. However, Sturges may have been the first celebrated Hollywood screenwriter to be promoted as having made the "leap" to directing for publicity purposes. Famously, he sold the story for The Great McGinty to Paramount Pictures for $1, in return for being allowed to direct the film. (The sum was quietly raised to $10 by the studio for legal reasons.)

Seguirono altri lavori teatrali di minore incisività e nel contempo si dedicò sempre più attivamente alla sceneggiatura cinematografica. Coltivò in questo campo svariati generi, dalla commedia alla riduzione di classici affermandosi tuttavia con un suo particolare procedimento narrativo, il narratage, consistente in una voce che commenta l'azione fuori campo, adottato da Sturges per la prima volta in The Power and the Glory (Potenza e gloria, del 1933) e che incontrò presto vasta diffusione. Passato alla regia nel 1940 Sturges vi trasferì il suo estro satirico e il suo gusto per la commedia sofisticata di cui fu uno dei principali esponenti. The Lady Eve (Lady Eva, del 1941) ma soprattutto Sullivan's Travels (I dimenticati, del 1941) pungente accusa contro le tendenze evasive del cinema hollywoodiano, furono i suoi film più significativi. Il successo di Sturges, cospicuo negli anni '40, declinò nel decennio successivo: dopo un temporaneo ritorno al teatro il regista si trasferì in Europa realizzandovi film minori.
