Sullivan’s Travels
Posted on April 11, 2015 | No CommentsDirector Preston Sturges ribs Hollywood. Here, Joel McCrea plays a guilt-stricken director of comedies who wants to make a socially relevant film. Dressed as a bum, he hits the road in […] -
I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang
Posted on April 11, 2015 | No CommentsBased on an autobiography, this Pre-Code gem is unique because it wears its social conscience on its sleeve (it depicts the Georgia prison system as it was in those years), and it’s […]
