Adventure. Comedy
Sullivan is a successful, spoiled, and naive director of fluff films, with a heart-o-gold, who decides he wants to make a film about the troubles of the downtrodden poor. Much to the chagrin of his producers, he sets off in tramp's clothing with a single dime in his pocket to experience poverty first-hand, and gets some reality shock.

"Few comedies are as smart as this (...) If you haven't seen it, it's about time you did. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (sobre 5)" | ||||
"Sullivan's Travels is a gem, an almost serious comedy not taken entirely seriously, with wonderful dialogue, eccentric characterisations, and superlative performances throughout." | ||||
"It has the blessing of Mr. Sturges's artful comic comment, and it crackles with extraordinary humor for most of its ninety-minute length" | ||||
"Sturges’ dialog is trenchant, has drive, possesses crispness and gets the laughs where that is desired." | ||||
"It's a great comedy, with a message that works in context (...) The Coen Brothers were so influenced by 'Sullivan's Travels' they named their film 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' from it." |
