Whatever happened to him? Seems like he had this amazing burst of creativity in the early 40's and then just disappeared. I checked, and he lived for nearly 20 years past his prime, I wonder about the movies he could have made and didn't.
My recollection is that he just lost his ability to turn them out like those five in the early 40s or so. I also vaguely recall that said five werenтАЩt that great grosses-wise.
I read Sturges' autobiography years ago and was fascinated that he was only as interested in writing about the Hollywood part as about anything else - his time working in a laundry, business afterward, etc. I sort of got the impression he lost interest.
The better Eve. Stanwyck was fantastic. Then again, Sturges.
