...One of the most brilliant screen mixes of comedy and drama in history...
USA Today
Hard-nosed, farcical, tender, critical, satirical, elitist and populist all at once.

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

Time Out
...Its endlessly fertile and still-influential fusion of satire, screwball comedy, drama and slapstick remains tartly fresh...
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 3.5/5 --
...just not as funny as its choir of supporters have made it out to be.
Filmcritic.com
[A] superbly crafted comedy.
Sight and Sound
A dubious proposition, but in Sturges's hands a charming one, filled out by his unparalleled sense of eccentric character.

Product Description:
Frustrated film director Sullivan (Joel McCrea) is fed up with serving out easily digestible but ultimately meaningless chunks of comedy for the studios. He decides to set off across America to rediscover the daily lives of the Joe Lunchpails as research for his socially responsible next film, O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU' Giving up all his unnecessaries, he begins his cross-country road trip in hobo's clothes with barely a dime in his pocket to regain his focus.
