Sullivan’s Travels
1941
Directed by Preston Sturges
Netflix says… Tired of churning out fluffy comedies, Hollywood director John L. Sullivan (Joel McCrea) decides to write a serious, socially responsible film about human suffering. When his producers point out that he knows nothing of hardship, he hits the road as a hobo. On his journey, Sullivan invites an out-of-work actress (Veronica Lake) to be his traveling companion, and the pair get into more trouble than they ever dreamed of.
I liked this one. Not really a lot more to say about it. It was entertaining, as romantic comedies go. I actually watched it a couple weeks ago and have forgotten a lot of the details that would have come to mind if I had written this thing when it was still fresh. I’ll try to come up with more to say about Duck Soup, the next movie on the list.
One of my favorites. Heart and brains in one movie–a rare combo.
