Sullivan's Travels Details

A Blast From The Past

If you've never heard or seen any of the director Preston Sturge's films you'll be pleasantly surprised by this film: it's up there with the great romantic comedies like 'The Apartment'. Coen Bros. homage to it- 'O Brother Where Art Thou' is shallow and humourless in comparison. There's a real chemistry between Sullivan and the girl(Virginia Lake- known as the one with the weird hairdo)Don't miss it! It's the kind of film that sticks in the mind. Still fresh after 60 years!

[Highly rated reviewer]

Superior intelligent comedy

Perhaps not quite as funny as I thought it would be this film delivered very well though on the clever comedy stakes. A director wants to make O Brother, Where Art Thou? but he's from a privileged background and feels that he needs to live the hobo life before he can present art about it. A simple idea with constant twists and turns that throw you away from where you think it's going. Full of lots of great little characters, different styles of comedy and more importantly a plot that is very clever. Loved it and tempted to buy it.
