Preston Sturges
Preston Sturges( born Edmund Preston Biden; August 29, 1898 – August 6, 1959) was an American playwright, screenwriter, and film director.
In 1941, he won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for the film" The Great McGinty", his first of three nominations in the category.
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.
Prior to Sturges, other figures in Hollywood( such as Charlie Chaplin, D. W. Griffith, and Frank Capra) had directed films from their own scripts, however Sturges is often regarded as the first Hollywood figure to establish success as a screenwriter and then move into directing his own scripts, at a time when those roles were separate.
Sturges famously sold the story for" The Great McGinty" to Paramount Pictures for$ 1, in return for being allowed to direct the film.

The Sin of Harold Diddlebock
The Sin of Harold Diddlebock is a 1947 comedy film written and directed by Preston Sturges, starring the silent film comic icon Harold Lloyd, and featuring a supporting cast including female protagonist Frances Ramsden, Jimmy Conlin, Raymond Walburn, Rudy Vallee, Arline Judge, Edgar Kennedy, Franklin Pangborn, J. Farrell MacDonald, Robert Dudley, Robert Greig, Lionel Stander and Jackie the Lion.
The film's story is a continuation of" The Freshman", one of Lloyd's most successful movies.
" The Sin of Harold Diddlebock" was Sturges' first project after leaving Paramount Pictures, where he had made his most popular films, but the film was not successful in its initial release.
It was quickly pulled from distribution by producer Howard Hughes who took almost four years to re-shoot some scenes and re-edit the film, finally re-releasing it in 1950 as Mad Wednesday – but the reception by the general public was no better the second time around.
Lloyd was never to star in another film, turning instead to production, and releasing compilation films featuring his earlier silent film work.

Esmeralda (1922 film)
Esmeralda is a 1922 British silent film and an adaptation of the novel" The Hunchback of Notre- Dame" by Victor Hugo, with more emphasis on the character of the gypsy girl rather than Quasimodo.
It was directed by Edwin J. Collins( who played the hunchback in the previous 1911 film" The Hunchback") and starred Sybil Thorndike as Esmeralda and Booth Conway as the hunchback.
The film is considered lost, but extant still photos show a 40- year- old Thorndike who appears to be too old for the role of the young and virginal Esmeralda.
This version emphasized romance and melodrama over horror.
The film was remade again in 1923 as" The Hunchback of Notre Dame" by Universal Pictures, starring Lon Chaney as Quasimodo, in what is considered the classic silent film version.
