Preston Sturges’ 1941 masterpiece, Sullivan’s Travels , remains one of the most poignant and sharp-witted satires ever produced during Hollywood's Golden Age. The Film's Legacy
At its heart, the movie follows John L. Sullivan (Joel McCrea), a successful but sheltered director of escapist comedies who yearns to create a serious social drama titled O Brother, Where Art Thou? . To truly understand suffering, he sets out on the road as a hobo, only to discover that the "escapist" laughter he once looked down upon is actually the most vital gift one can offer the downtrodden. It is a rare film that successfully balances slapstick humor with a sobering look at poverty and the American penal system.
