    Sullivan’s Travels directed by Preston Sturges, US, 1941, 35mm, 90mins, b/w. This comic masterpiece by Preston Sturges is perhaps the finest movie-about-a-movie ever made. Hollywood director John Lloyd Sullivan (Joel McCrae), tired of churning out lightweight comedies, decides to make O Brother, Where Art Thou—a serious, socially responsible film about human suffering. After his producers point out that he knows nothing of hardship, he hits the road as a hobo to see Depression-era poverty first-hand. Of course, he meets a beautiful woman (Veronica Lake credited simply as “The Girl”) along the way.
