...just not as funny as its choir of supporters have made it out to be.

Its message drags it from the front guard of Sturges's work, but it shines nonetheless.
March 07, 2005
Forgotten for years along with its maker, writer/director Preston Sturges, Sullivan's Travels has only recently enjoyed a comeback and induction into classic status.

It is, quite simply, a dazzling piece of filmmaking.
April 01, 2005
A delicious tragi-comedy set during the Great Depression.
September 28, 2015
Hard-nosed, farcical, tender, critical, satirical, elitist and populist all at once.
February 03, 2009
Not remotely a defense of junk, but it does respect comedy as a force for escapism.
June 27, 2007
Sturges' dialog is trenchant, has drive, possesses crispness and gets the laughs where that is desired.

... the movie road-trips from its scripter's typical cynicality to finding an assured kind of resonance in the third act in the most unlikely of places.
April 18, 2012
a highly satirical piece, poking fun at Hollywood itself and showing how out of touch it can be
February 09, 2006
Sullivan's Travels is a gem, an almost serious comedy not taken entirely seriously, with wonderful dialogue, eccentric characterisations, and superlative performances throughout.
June 27, 2007
A dubious proposition, but in Sturges's hands a charming one, filled out by his unparalleled sense of eccentric character.
