Film Description: In Preston Sturges' classic comedy of Depression-era
America, filmmaker
John L. Sullivan (Joel McCrea), fed up with directing profitable comedies like "
Ants in Your Plants of
1939," is consumed with the desire to make a serious social statement in his upcoming film, "
Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" Unable to
function in the rarefied atmosphere of
Hollywood,
Sullivan decides to hit the road, disguised as a tramp, and touch base with the "real" people of America. But Sullivan's studio transforms his odyssey into a publicity stunt, providing the would-be nomad with a luxury van, complete with butler (
Robert Greig) and valet (
Eric Blore). Advised by his servants that the poor resent having the rich intrude upon them, Sullivan escapes his retinue and continues his travels incognito. En route, he meets a down-and-out failed actress (
Veronica Lake). Experiencing firsthand the scroungy existence of real-life hoboes, Sullivan returns to Hollywood full of bleeding-heart fervor. After first arranging for the girl's screen test, he heads for the railyards, intending to improve the lot of the local rail-riders and bindlestiffs by handing out ten thousand dollars in five-dollar bills.
Instead, Sullivan is coldcocked by a tramp, who steals Sullivan's clothes and identification. When the tramp is run over by a speeding train, the world at large is convinced that the great John L. Sullivan is dead.
Meanwhile, the dazed Sullivan, dressed like a bum with no identification on his person, is arrested and put to work on a brutal
Southern chain gang. With its almost
Shakespearean combination of uproarious comedy and grim tragedy,
Sullivan's Travels is Sturges' masterpiece and one of the finest movies about movies ever made.
