“SULLIVAN’S TRAVELS is madcap, melodramatic, suspenseful, gentle, tragic, silly, sincere, and ironic all at once. It’s a movie that only Preston Sturges could have made, somehow managing to depart wildly from his usual screwball comedies while also ultimately feeling like his funniest work.”
—That Shelf

“Sturges seems to leap out from behind the screen to address the viewer directly. Few classic filmmakers with so much to say manage to find so many splendid words to say it in.”
—The New Yorker

“A treasure of satire and an entertaining case study in incipient postmodernism at Hollywood’s door.”
—Mubi

Writer-director Preston Sturges’ masterpiece is not only a prime example of golden-age Hollywood comedy, it is a philosophical meditation on the importance of comedy in all our lives. You’ll definitely laugh, and you might even cry. Joel McCrea, as a filmmaker who has lost his way, and Veronica Lake lead the cast. In 35mm.
