Why not just go through the Hawks library, Sturges has some real winners too, Hail the Conquering Hero and The Miracle of Morgans Creek are both wonderful.
Don't forget Sturges' masterpiece "Sullivan's Travels" or "Palm Beach Story". The sequence in the latter film where runaway wife Claudette Colbert falls in with the Ale and Quail Club on a private railroad car is screwball comedy at its best. Sturges wrote some of the smartest, wittiest dialogue in film history.Rob Doorack
