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.
Cast:
"...Superbly played and paced, and features a gallery of eccentric supporting characters..."
-- Tom Dawson
, (Total Film)
"...One of the most brilliant screen mixes of comedy and drama in history..." -- Mike Clark , (USA Today) "...Its endlessly fertile and still-influential fusion of satire, screwball comedy, drama and slapstick remains tartly fresh..." -- Tim Purtell , (Entertainment Weekly) "Cramming a hundred ideas and a dozen genres -- screwball, road movie, thriller, musical -- into a package that moves like a runaway train..." -- Damien Love , (Uncut) "[A] superbly crafted comedy." -- Geoffrey Macnab , (Sight and Sound) |
