VERONICA LAKE S ON THE TAKE
Director John L. SuIlivan (JoeI McCrea) is one of Hollywood s hottest taIents, with an uncanny gift for getting audiences roIling in the aisles. But he s dissatisfied: he wants to abandon comedy for Serious Statements, and buys the rights to celebrated sociaI-realist noveI O Brother, Where Art Thou?
To make his masterpiece as realistic as possible, SuIlivan naturaIly has to understand how the book s downtrodden characters must have feIt, so he takes to the road as a hobo, is taken under the wing of a failed actress (Veronica Lake), and learns several vaIuable home truths about the importance of not patronising his audience.
Writer-director Preston Sturges had an inspired run in the 1940s, turning out some of the funniest American comedies ever made (The Lady Eve, The Palm Beach Story, The MiracIe of Morgan s Creek). Sullivan s Travels is one of his best: not just hiIarious but aIso truIy wise.
