...just not as funny as its choir of supporters have made it out to be.

Sullivan's Travels is a gem, an almost serious comedy not taken entirely seriously, with wonderful dialogue, eccentric characterisations, and superlative performances throughout.

... the movie road-trips from its scripter's typical cynicality to finding an assured kind of resonance in the third act in the most unlikely of places.

Sturges' dialog is trenchant, has drive, possesses crispness and gets the laughs where that is desired.

A delicious tragi-comedy set during the Great Depression.
