Sullivan's Travels (1/9) Movie CLIP - With a Little Sex In It (1941) HD

[@icarus8471]

The dialogue in this film is terrific.

[@lunicola]

old movies are EXTREMELY SOOOOOO underrated .. TRULY!!!

[@blakiecakes419]

"people always like what they don't know anything about." always loved that line.

[@erik1836]

The dialog in this scene, written by Preston Sturgis, is among most brilliant, tightly scripted and intelligent "clips" of brilliant writing by a true genius that I have ever seen or heard - ever - in my entire life.

[@ericthatsme]

Goddamned DITTO. 🎯🎯🎯

[@bravesoul5743]

Darn it this scene is so impressive!! Continous dialogue without editing!! Awesome!!

[@lunicola]

put any classic movie up against ANYTHING done in later times.. 80s 90s etc .. and the latter come across like mindless drivel and a waste of celluloid ! FACT!

[@ericthatsme]

Preston Sturges was a damn genius.

[@Ma_Ba]

"Oh Brother Where Art Thou" mentioned and reminds me of "Hail Caesar" - I bet George Clooney loves this movie.

[@theexpresidents]

Coen bros were hugely influenced by Sturges.

"If they knew what they liked they wouldn't live in Pittsburgh." Dissing the Steel City. :)

[@SpiderandMosquito]

Onyx1916 dissing my family's city! :( Though not complaining cauae Pittsburgh today is NOT the Pittsburgh then that's for bloody certain! Guess my generation really does have it easy XD

[@sitting_nut]

not really, once you come to end of this movie

[@lunicola]

@@SpiderandMosquito yup

[@celiumpictures]

Brilliant. Snappier than most film dialogue nowadays

[@reneastle8447]

What will it be like if all movie dialogue nowadays is as snappier as Preston Sturges? That would be brilliant.

[@theexpresidents]

​@@reneastle8447Mamet and Sorkin come close, but they aren't funny.

[@reneastle8447]

@@theexpresidents True, but if there are snappier comedy writers for movies as Preston Sturges, that would be swell.

[@dhawal1]

This was a 4 minute shot (we only see 3 mins here). Utterly brilliant.

[@TheStockwell]

Two days had been scheduled to do this, the opening scene. Sturges impulsively dared his cameraman to do the scene in one shot. After three takes, he did. By 11:00 a.m., they had two days shooting taken care of. Source: the Criterion Collection.

[@dhawal1]

Thanks for the info!!

“So Long, Sarong” “Hey, Hey in the Hayloft” “Ants in Your Plants of 1939” “Thanks For Yesterday” I’m dying! 😝

[@shangpush]

priceless!

[@theexpresidents]

​@@shangpushIt's "Hay Hay In the Hayloft."

[@adamschwartz3449]

That was one continuous take without cuts. I wonder how many rehearsals they had. Writing, acting, blocking are brilliant. The actors' enunciation--every syllable crystal clear, unlike the mumblers of today. And it's not just funny, but meaningful.

[@lunicola]

so VERY fracking TRUE !!!

[@kamrankhan-lj1ng]

It is in Transatlantic accent. Midway between the American and English accents.

[@theexpresidents]

​@@kamrankhan-lj1ngThat has nothing to do with mumblecore.

[@myscene2010]

Brilliant writing, acting and screenplay. Great film.

"If they knew what they like they wouldn't live in Pittsburgh." Accurate.

A 3 minutes and 20 second single film take - todays film industry could learn something

[@Wilsoncinephile]

I love this scene so much. The comedy😂😂😂😂😂

[@benjaminrobinson7203]

Cut out the best part where he says he's gonna go experience the life of the common man and the guy who "took care of three sisters and a widowed mother" admits he was lying to the other producer.

[@theexpresidents]

Sturges filmed this in 2 or 3 takes. One cut.

B.I.H , 1893~1941.

[@SuperSojourn]

Personally, I have always admired Joel McCrea. It never occurred to me to judge his acting skills. I am not sure I realized he was acting. I was too busy enjoying the films. This movie would be interesting if the only scene you viewed was that scene of Las Vegas. I think he was right there alongside Cary Grant a little more rough around the edges perhaps and much more “American”. I think men as handsome as he, Steve McQueen, James Dean, Rock Hudson are easily dismissed as less talented simply because they entertain us by just appearing in a film. The likes of Gene Hackman, Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, and Spencer Tracey all are considered great actors. Before long we will be able to place any actor in any film and replace the original star to include audio and visual integration. Can you imagine James Dean replacing Charlton Heston in Ben Hur?

[@lunicola]

ya.. but he would have to fatally crash the chariot in the end :)

[@panzervalkyrie9299]

Thanks Norm and Jerry

"...something like..." "Something like CAPRA. I know." "What's wrong with Capra?" Shade!

[@frankiebowie6174]

IIRC there was a famous think piece called “What’s the Matter With Capra?”in a major magazine in this era.

[@lunicola]

shrugs ... Mr Frank was a fracking GENIUS and way WAY ahead of his time!

[@theexpresidents]

Capra is tantamount to homogenized, easy money. Capra = remakes today

[@SampleSimp]

That was absolutely amazing
