@@reneastle8447 Mine too! I'm currently writing one about a fictional Hollywood studio, and it always ends up like I'm stealing from him. Oh well, steal from the greats. 😈
I'm a huge fan of Preston Sturges. Obviously, he was a genuis. But for real, he has A LOT OF RACIST IMAGES OF BLACKS IN HIS MOVIES !!!!!! He even serially hired, "Snowflake." (Was Stephin Fetchin, out of town ????) I realize were talking about the 1940's. After Hitler, Americans slowly began to see their own racism more clearly.
You are not being fair. It was of it's time but to be fair there were a lot of silly characters of all races. Have you seen Sullivan's travels? NAACP Secretary Walter White wrote a letter to Preston Sturges congratulating him for his "dignified and decent treatment of Negroes in this scene."
@@vintagemarie2391 you are 100% correct. Racism is in the eye of the beholder. I do not consider his movies objectively as some real Nazi lovers. He is an honorable man that brought 1st class entertainment to America 😊
"After Hitler America slowly began to see their own racism more clearly" ? What a bizarre, nonsensical and Orwellian statement. You must have gone to a public school.
We need more american masters episodes on here damnit! There's 30 plus years of great episodes and you can only purchase like 4 or 5 seasons worth of episodes anywhere online and its beyond a tragedy imo.

Racism is everywhere not just America.
He was a man of his time.

Racially insensitive is not "racism." Racism is Klan meetings, neo-nazi book burnings. What Preston portrayed in his movies was nugatory.
