1940ref. 171677Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures 1940. Vintage reference photograph of director Preston Sturges smiling with Hungarian-American actor Steffi Duna on the set of the 1940 film. Mimeo snipe on the verso referring to the film by its working title "Down Went McGinty" along with the rubber stamp of Paramount photographer G.E. Richardson. Sturges had become a very successful Hollywood screenwriter by the late 1930s and with his screenplay for "The Biography of a Bum" wanted so much to direct the film that he offered to do the job for free. With very few exceptions notably Charlie Chaplin the notion of an established studio writer directing a film was nearly unheard of in Hollywood where writers were typically not even allowed on the set. Only the irresistible cheapness of Sturges' offer made it possible for the film to get made. Over the six year period during which the script remained unproduced the title changed to "The Vagrant" then "Down with McGinty" then finally just prior to production to "The Great McGinty." It was not only a success but won Sturges an Oscar for Best Screenwriter. More importantly he was allowed to continue as a writer-director with a magnificent career that included one classic after another including "Sullivan's Travels" "The Lady Eve" "Unfaithfully Yours" "The Palm Beach Story" and "Hail the Conquering Hero." 7.5 x 9.5 inches. Very Good plus lightly worn at the corners. Paramount Pictures unknown
