Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1941 comedy film written and directed by Preston Sturges, starring Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake.John L. Sullivan (McCrea) is a hotshot young Hollywood director who's been pigeonholed in comedy but desires the chance to adapt O Brother, Where Art Thou?, a socially relevant novel he admires. Feeling the only way he can make his desire a reality is to gain experience in poverty and hardship, Sullivan dresses up as a hobo and sets out with nothing but ten cents in his pocket to experience "the real America". Unfortunately, studio bigwigs fear for their favorite director's safety, and they cushion him every step of the way. Until things go horribly wrong, that is.A landmark satire of Hollywood. Not appreciated when it was first released, it manages to captivate audiences decades later with roller-coaster storytelling and with cleverness on an epic scale. "The Girl" is Veronica Lake's most memorable role, placing her in the big leagues with Katharine Hepburn and Ingrid Bergman. The Coen Brothers often steal ideas from Sullivan's Travels for their similarly funny masterworks, most obviously when they made a real movie called O Brother, Where Art Thou?.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Incidentally, the shot of Sullivan traveling down the road as he begins his journey went on to inspire the logo for Caravan Pictures (and the page quote above is where the studio's name comes from). Its co-founder Joe Roth must be a fan of Sturges, as he'd previously worked at Morgan Creek – named after The Miracle of Morgan's Creek. | |

Broken Aesop: Many critics have noted that the film's message saying that comedies without social messages are intrinsically valuable to a moviegoing audience is belied by the film's Genre-Busting approach and its realistic portrayal of poverty, crime, racial segregation, and violence. That is, the film in effect preaches a message opposite to its own form and content. On the other hand, Sullivan's Travels is often funny, complete with a happy ending. Sturges may be presenting a case for comedy that respects the intelligence and experience of its audience. | |
