Title:
Sullivan's Travels
This masterpiece by Preston Sturges is perhaps the finest movie-about-a-movie ever made. Hollywood director Joel McCrea, tired of churning out lightweight comedies, decided 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. He find the lovely Veronica Lake--and more trouble than he ever dreamed of.
