SUMMARY:Sullivan’s Travels
DESCRIPTION:Film industry satire Sullivan’s Travels (1941) isn’t Preston Sturges’ funniest picture\; it’s not even his funniest Joel McCrea picture (stay tuned for that next week). But it’s uniquely interesting for its contradictions – as an inevitably dated comedy that nonetheless takes inequality and extreme wealth inequity as sincere topics of interest\, and as a snub of social justice pictures (“leave the preaching to the preachers” he sniffed in his memoir) that itself becomes a message movie in its last reel. McCrea is a comedy director who wants to make a Very Important Drama titled O Brother\, Where Art Thou? (yup\, the Coens are fans). For research\, and with a luscious Veronica Lake in tow\, he odysseys from soup kitchen to chain gang before arriving at the perfectly reasonable conclusion that comedy is its own kind of social good. &#8\;– Kimberley Jones
