Stuart Erwin

"Judy Cornes closely analyzes the life and work of Stuart Erwin, a popular actor of the thirties and forties, who has for the most part been neglected by film historians and critics alike. Erwin's craft is examined in social, literary, and historical contexts and in reference to other contemporary productions and literature. Cornes gives Erwin long overdue recognition for a stage, movie, radio, and television career that spanned forty years."--Jacket.
