Sullivan's Travels (1941) |

Described as "a beautifully trenchant satire" by the New York Times, this screwball classic from the golden age of Hollywood is the pinnacle of several comedy masterpieces directed by Preston Sturges in the early 1940s. Renowned as the finest movie-about-a-movie ever made, Sullivan's Travels stars Joel McCrea as a successful Hollywood director who tried of his formulaic lightweight comedies and plans to direct a social realist epic about the struggle of the working poor titled 'O Brother, Where Art Though' (the Coen Brothers used the title in their hit 2000 comedy starring George Clooney). When McCrea's miffed producers point out that he was born with a silver spoon, the stubborn director sets out to research his story the hard way and hits the road as a hobo. Along the way he runs into the lovely Veronica Lake - and more trouble than he ever dreamed of!
