The Really: Maybe Preston Sturge’s classic film is just what we need right now.

It’s Sullivan’s Travels and it was in a string of hits by the highest paid director/writer of his time Preston Sturges. Released in 1941 it tells the story of director John L.

Joined by a down-on-her-luck aspiring actress, the results are hardly the kind of trouble he had in mind.
