Sullivan’s Travels

Sullivan is a successful, spoiled, naïve director of fluffy films with a heart of gold, who decides that he wants to make a film about the troubles of the downtrodden poor.  Much to his producers’ chagrin, he sets off in tramp’s clothing with a single dime in his pocket to experience poverty first-hand, and he feels the sting of reality.

Directed by Preston Sturges: starring Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake.
