Sullivan's Travels

Comedy Romance Adventure

1941, Movie, 1h 31min

Tired of churning out lightweight comedies, Hollywood director John L. Sullivan (Joel McCrea) decides to make O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?—a serious, socially responsible film about human suffering. After his producers point out that he knows nothing of hardship, Sullivan hits the road disguised as a hobo. En route to enlightenment, he encounters a lovely but no-nonsense young woman (Veronica Lake)—and more trouble than he ever dreamed of. This comic masterpiece by Preston Sturges is among the finest Hollywood satires and a high-water mark in the career of one of the industry’s most revered funnymen.

Sullivan's Travels is unpretentious but remarkably complex, and all the more startlingly poignant because of Sturges' assured but light hand steering it between moods and genres, always on a steady course to the good punchline.
