CLIP DESCRIPTION:
After embarking on his experiment as a hobo, Sully (Joel McCrea) hitches a ride with a kid and together, they ditch his entourage.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
In Preston Sturges' classic comedy of Depression-era America, filmmaker John L. Sullivan (Joel McCrea), fed up with directing profitable comedies like "Ants in Your Plants of 1939," is consumed with the desire to make a serious social statement in his upcoming film, "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" Unable to function in the rarefied atmosphere of Hollywood, Sullivan decides to hit the road, disguised as a tramp, and touch base with the "real" people of America. But Sullivan's studio transforms his odyssey into a publicity stunt, providing the would-be nomad with a luxury van, complete with butler (Robert Greig) and valet (Eric Blore). Advised by his servants that the poor resent having the rich intrude upon them, Sullivan escapes his retinue and continues his travels incognito. En route, he meets a down-and-out failed actress (Veronica Lake). Experiencing firsthand the scroungy existence of real-life hoboes, Sullivan returns to Hollywood full of bleeding-heart fervor. After first arranging for the girl's screen test, he heads for the railyards, intending to improve the lot of the local rail-riders and bindlestiffs by handing out ten thousand dollars in five-dollar bills. Instead, Sullivan is coldcocked by a tramp, who steals Sullivan's clothes and identification. When the tramp is run over by a speeding train, the world at large is convinced that the great John L. Sullivan is dead. Meanwhile, the dazed Sullivan, dressed like a bum with no identification on his person, is arrested and put to work on a brutal Southern chain gang. With its almost Shakespearean combination of uproarious comedy and grim tragedy, Sullivan's Travels is Sturges' masterpiece and one of the finest movies about movies ever made.

“you know me” is one of the greatest throwaway jokes ever written

[@MsDudette21]

Sullivan walking with the bindle is the inspiration behind the Caravan Pictures logo

[@Telstar62a]

One of my favorite chase scenes ever, featuring a 13-year old driver in a homemade car.

[@James-ke8dy]

Maybe one of the most funniest scene in film History I couldn't stop laughing

[@paulaharrisbaca4851]

A Whippet tank was actually the name of the tank (I think) that Tucker built for the US Army, but they turned it down because it was too fast and quick for the troops to keep up with, although that was the point, because it would be the point tank. Of course, Whippet was a small independent car company back then and so maybe this was just a kid using his dad's old Whippet that he didn't use anymore, opting for a Ford, perhaps, as he was a father and a little speedster like a Whippet was of no use to him anymore.

[@UnfittingCarbon]

The name actually comes from earlier than that; "Whippet" was a nickname for the British Medium "Mark A" tanks in World War I, which were considered very successful because their (relatively) high top speed allowed them to exploit gaps in the German defences and cause havoc in the rear. Their usage being publicized led to "Whippet" being used as a generic term for any fast tank, which I think is what the kid is referencing here.

Unbelievably wonderful movie. Hilarious and touching and thoughtful.

I always thought the blond secretary was kinda cute. She was played by Margaret Hayes and had great-looking legs in her seamed nylons.

[@hazaziazizan5591]

That kid is 79 years old now in 2020
