The comic genius behind such classic 1940s films as THE MIRACLE AT MORGAN CREEK and SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS, Preston Sturges lived a life of smashing highs and miserable lows. The eccentric writer and director grew up in Europe, under the care of his colorful, artistic mother and her famous friends. After stints as a soldier and an inventor, Sturges ended up in Hollywood and rose quickly from the ranks of scriptwriter to high-powered director. With all his success however, Sturges had even more failures, both in his professional and personal life (he was married 4 times). BETWEEN FLOPS is an expertly researched and engagingly written biography of this unique and complicated legend.
