He argues that Sturges proves &#8220;that a good Hollywood film can mix outrageous comedy with a social message&#8221;, given that we &#8220;laugh at the hysterical dialogue, the farcical situations&#8230;, the satirical barbs against Hollywood, and the slapstick&#8221;, yet also &#8220;pay attention to the parade of poverty&#8217;s victims during Sullivan&#8217;s Swiftian journey&#8221;. However, I&#8217;m not quite sure I agree with this latter point. At the risk of sounding like a Grinch about a Certified American Classic, I don&#8217;t actually believe audiences are forced to pay enough attention to &#8220;poverty&#8217;s victims&#8221; in this film &#8212; which is all about Sullivan, all the time.  While Peary notes that Sturges &#8220;democratically gives all his characters, even his supporting players, important and wise things to say&#8221;, the voices of the downtrodden he&#8217;s so interested in speaking to and learning about are, with just a couple of exceptions, noticeably absent. <\/p>\n<p>Now that my gripe is over, however, I&#8217;ll concede that there is much to admire about the film. Its Hawksian dialogue does indeed &#8220;have humor and rhythm&#8221;; Peary accurately describes it &#8220;like a relay race, with words used like batons&#8221;, in which &#8220;the second one character finishes a sentence, another starts his; characters join in, there are no gaps, and the pace becomes frenetic&#8221;. He also notes that &#8220;McCrea, who is well over six feet tall, and Lake at five-foot-two and 90 pounds [though pregnant!]&#8230; make a wonderful screen team&#8221;, given that they &#8220;have sweet feelings toward each other from the beginning, and are always protective of one another&#8221;; they are indeed &#8220;an ideal couple&#8221;. As Peary notes, this &#8220;was the picture that confirmed [they] were versatile performers&#8221;. Watch for a host of fine supporting performances, lovely b&#038;w cinematography, and numerous memorable scenes. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Joel McCrea as John Sullivan (nominated as one of the Best Actors of the Year in <em>Alternate Oscars<\/em>)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-McCrea2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-McCrea2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"544\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-McCrea2.png 544w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-McCrea2-128x94.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-McCrea2-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Veronica Lake as &#8220;the Girl&#8221; (nominated as one of the Best Actresses of the Year in <em>Alternate Oscars<\/em>)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Lake.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Lake.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"544\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20007\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Lake.png 544w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Lake-128x94.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Lake-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Wonderful supporting performances throughout<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Supporting.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Supporting.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"544\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20008\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Supporting.png 544w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Supporting-128x94.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Supporting-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Supporting2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Supporting2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"544\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Supporting2.png 544w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Supporting2-128x94.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Supporting2-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>John Seitz&#8217;s cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Cinematography.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Cinematography.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"544\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-68214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Cinematography.png 544w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Cinematography-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Cinematography-128x94.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Sullivans-Travels-Cinematography-367x270.png 367w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See?
