Sullivan's Travels

Joel McCrae, Veronica Lake, Robert Warwick.
When film director, John L. Sullivan (McCrae) tires of his escapist movies, he hits the road as a hobo to seek background for his planned work of social seriousness, O Brother Where Art Thou? Partly inspiring the Coen's latest outing this is Sturges (a lasting influence on the brothers) at his most satirically comic and exuberantly anarchic.
