Reviews

[Scott J · Rating 4 out of 5]

Extremely good - fun and adept - screenplays, except for the excruciatingly stereotyped depictions of people of color, such as “Rufus” in Remember the Night.” Hard to give 5 rating to something with abjectly racist content. Original script title was “An Amazing Marriage.”

[Rick Burin · Rating 4 out of 5]

The intros are too dryly analytical but the scripts themselves are, of course, glorious.

Finally! My favorite Sturges in screenplay form.
