Review of Sullivan's Travels (1941) by Dan S — 12 Jan 2009
This is the first Preston Sturges film I ever saw and it is, without much doubt, one of his finest. Sullivan's Travel's is a briiliantly scripted, directed and performed movie satirising the movie buisness.
What makes it more special is that Sturges was one of the first truly auteur Hollywood directors working within the constraints of the studio system and the production code. It is a shame that Veronica Lake's career never really reached the heights that it should have done as she's fantastic as the sultry blonde.
Funny and heartwarming, this is one of the best films ever made.
