Sullivan's Travels
Joel McCrea plays successful Hollywood director John L Sullivan, an idealist who believes you can't accurately direct a screen tragedy unless you live it. Disguising himself as a bum, Sullivan sets off to see America from the bottom up. Slapstick and sorrow blend seamlessly in this masterpiece that reveals the wonderful insight and artistry of one of Hollywood's finest directors.
