STURGES PRESTON: (1898-1959) American screenwriter, film director & playwright, Academy Award winner. T.L.S., Preston Sturges, one page, 8vo, Clinton Street, Hollywood, 25th August 1944, to Frank M. Flack, on the printed stationery of California Pictures Corporation. Sturges thanks his correspondent for their 'courteous and encouraging' letter regarding The Great Moment, adding that he is glad Flack liked the method and commenting 'I wish there were more of you.

Many of the reviews have been bad and many more will be. However, as I believe Oscar Wilde said: ''When the world begins to agree with me, I start to suspect that I am wrong''.'. A couple of very light, extremely minor stains, VG
