Sullivan is a successful, spoiled, and naive director of fluff films, with a heart-o-gold, who decides he wants to make a film about the troubles of the downtrodden poor.

"“This is not just what movies are about, it’s what life is about. If I had to make a religion based off of a film, this would be it…. Sullivan’s Travels is everything that a movie should be.” - Drew Barrymore “It wasn’t a raging hit when it came out, but over the years this film thankfully has been rediscovered…. I love those great faces of the guys laughing as they’re watching the cartoon. Casting directors know what they’re doing to round up those kind of faces…. It’s "
