CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Sully (Joel McCrea) is disappointed by the impression his movies have made on the girl (Veronica Lake).
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.

just a small comment,i used to love Veronica Lake and her long blond hair,show you how old i am.1941 i got my first car in 1951 and it was a 1941 plymouth paid all of $300 for it in cash,and Veronica Lake used to play with Alan Ladd in alot of movies that i can remember and they made a nice looking couple together in movies.

[@wolf3104]

She was gorgeous.

[@lineshaftrestorations7903]

This dialog is smart and snappy much like that in My Man Godfrey.

[@allenblaine6551]

KZbin has ruined everything with all the ads... greed but an excellent movie

[@AlehandrosArhangelos]

Adblock plus saved my internet experience altogether

[@gregpoore2757]

Things like this and the cat herding commercial from EDD. "I'm living a dream".

[@danechebarria8086]

Veronica Lake never hit that superstardom like Elizabeth Taylor, Ingrid Bergman or Katherine Hepburn but she did make done good noirs with Alan Ladd. Plus that “peek-a-boo” haircut and that blond hair? Yowzaa!

[@bbrown333]

She was the top box office draw in 1942. She was quite big, it's just that her film career did not last as long as those actresses.

[@Willismcnillis]

She didn’t want to, which is why she disappeared to New York.

[@mindriot91_96]

She's so beautiful 😍

[@frankiebowie6174]

“There’s nothing like a deep dish movie to drive you out into the open” - I still quote it just for the fun of it.

[@teetarquin7012]

So sad, alcoholism ruined her.

[@BNCole]

She was so pretty. Her tiny 4'11 frame only made her that much more adorable.

[@gintasindreika933]

She said she was 5'2.

[@BNCole]

@@gintasindreika933 Most likely her height in heels. My ex girlfriend was 4'11, but she constantly wears stilettos and list her height as 5'2 " I'm 6'3" (Joel McCrea's height) and Veronica is about the same height compared to Joel as my ex was to me.

At the end of their driving, that looks like the Cauenga Pass in the background.

[@davids.8509]

Dayum traffic was excellent back then.
