Stuart Erwin by Judy Cornes

Judy Cornes closely analyzes the life and work of Stuart Erwin, a popular actor in the thirties and forties, focusing primarily on Erwin's career in motion pictures but also including a brief examination of his work on stage and television. In each of these media Erwin's talent was demonstrated by his subtlety, versatility, cleverness, and honesty. In his private life, though, Erwin was extremely modest, rarely engaging in self-promotion, which contributed to his being overlooked by critics. This fascinating look into the life and work of Stuart Erwin also includes a bibliography, a comprehensive list of his films, and an index.
