Sullivan's Travels

Sullivan is a successful, spoiled, and naive director of fluff films. With a heart of gold, he decides he wants to make a film about the troubles of the downtrodden poor. Much to the chagrin of his producers, he sets off in tramp's clothing with a single dime in his pocket to experience poverty first-hand, and gets a reality shock. This comedy masterpiece is one of the most exceptional Hollywood satires and the apogee in Preston Sturges’s unparalleled career as a filmmaker.
