I thought it was funny Veronica Lake was being credited as the girl. Sullivan had it right when he said the pictures always have a girl. I liked how this film explored the importance of comedy and cinema, with an eye looking out for the social issues plaguing the States. I

Great characters and a decent plot, but a little over-the-top on the preachy message. Amazing how some of these early movies still work so well years later.

I'm starting to get Preston Sturges now! After finishing Sullivan's Travels (1941) the impressions kept coming at such a rate I had to watch it again! Playful irony of the privilege feeling the poor's pain. All an illusion with a pinch of reality so wonderfully crafted by everyone involved! This is how to combine the ridiculous with the brutal truth.

A fun, clever comedy. The debate over the merits of political art over escapist art is as old as art itself, and will forever continue to be relevent, and while I don't agree with the argument the film makes, it's still told in an entertaining enough way, and with enough dramatic undertones, that it doesn't really matter.

The romance is scenes of the two leads hanging out together. The acting feels contrived, never natural and the ending is less than spectacular. Didn't find the classic I was expecting.
