Aro Favourite Sullivan's Travels

 

USA 1941, 90 minutes
Dir. Preston Sturges
Genres: Classics

Topics: Satire, Showbiz.

 

Aroview: Hailed as dir. Sturges most reflective statement on his comic art, this finds lightweight Hollywood director Joel McCrea dressing as a tramp in order to gather material for his Great Depression opus ‘O Brother Where Art Thou?’. Good at poking fun at (and punishing) pretentious do-gooders, this uneasily stirs self-satire into the mix too, but succeeds overall in its high farcical moments and sophisticated sense of irony.
