But I have to give it 5. I LOVE IT. I love both of these actors and they are imminently charming in these roles.Sullivan is a big-time film director who makes consistent hit comedies during the Great Depression. He has lived a privileged life as well, and he realized all this. He's not a bad guy at all- quite the opposite. He's looking to stop being pampered and followed by "his entourage". He wants to get a hobo outfit from the costume department and leave with a dime in his pocket and jump a train, see how the other half lives.He doesn't even know where the gathering place for hobo's is who are trying to jump trains, so he needs a little help. He is questioning if the silly films he makes serve humanity in any way at all and is determined to return a man who has had a taste, and can put out a product that will better serve the human race. It takes several fits and starts to get going.A chance meeting with Veronica Lake as a failed actress working in a diner on his first travel shows her compassion as she sees someone worse off than herself and buys him a real breakfast instead of the coffee he could afford. She has given up on her dreams and is going back home poor. This is the setting. I promised I haven't spoiled a thing.Surprises lurk in the real world, generally unfavorable ones. Through all the fits and starts a journey does take place. The entire film works to one unforgettable AWESOME SCENE that resolves every question and more. You get to see humanity. And share in it. It's surprisingly moving and delightful every time I see it. This film hits the mark. It's one many films aspire to reach. However I think this one does it best.And Veronica Lake does not feel just like "the attractive female lead added to the film because it had to have one". She is so darling and daring and so convincingly committed to her role in the supporting Sullivan in his search that leads to his travels that she even becomes a traveler herself for a while. It's a performance where you actually feel you are experiencing the character of the actor and that it is a precious privilege.I read somewhere that she cut her trademark locks for the war effort, and that this damaged her career badly. I also read she was a hitmaker that had one hard flop then got dumped hard by the studio system. All I know is when I popped up some detail and it said she fell into depression isolation and alcoholism and was dead by 50. What a tragic loss. Lets all take notice of the alone people we spot in this world who fall through the grates sometimes and say "hi" and notice they are alive. It's OK to make new friends when you are an adult. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My fourth copy of this movie; I can't imagine *by M***O on Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2016* To date, I have bought Sullivan's Travels four times - one Criterion DVD (my first exposure to the film), a bare-bones inclusion in a big Preston Sturges DVD collection (nothing to write home about, but then again Sullivan's Travels wasn't the reason I bought the set in the first place), the Criterion blu-ray upgrade earlier this year (excellent and probably more than sufficient for most R1 Sturges enthusiasts), and finally the Arrow R2 edition.It's totally worth it, of course; for one thing it's yet another extremely beautiful transfer of this flawless masterpiece. More importantly, the supplements totally deliver; the feature-length commentary with Terry Jones, for instance, is a total winner, as is the 45-minute documentary about Sturges' stock company. It's hard to recommend it outright since, really, the Criterion should have more than enough for anyone who understands just how brilliant this movie is, but if you want EVERYTHING media companies have come up with to make people want to keep this magnificent jewel of a picture in the cultural conversation (and have the proper equipment to play RB discs, of course), the Arrow edition unequivocally does the trick. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Offbeat, Funny, Romantic, Spiritual, Real! *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2013* This oldie is a TRUE GEM - my friend and I watched this three times within the same week -- and every viewing the movie became BETTER than the viewing before! This movie / story really grows on you, and it doesn't take long, either. The very first time we (my friend and I) watched it, I thought I might have made a mistake (ordering it). WRONG WRONG WRONG!And THAT is why we chose to view it a second time in two days back to back! And after the second viewing, we liked it so well, that we decided to watch it a THIRD TIME, in the same week again! Wow -- I'm in love with this movie -- (or rather, the character played by Veronica Lake) -- you know, the first time I thought to myself "so how did this chic ever get a part in a movie like this?" (meaning: she might be a blond and youthful, but what else is there to put her at the front of the line?);Well -- how wrong I was about Veronica Lake --I'm now SMITTEN by this wonderful woman - she's so low-key, almost to the point of dull -- (at first, that is) -- and then -- (should I mention this yet?) -- there's that "shower scene" with her (in the nude) -- WOW -- ---!!! Need I say more??? No, guys -- don't get your hopes up just yet - the scene flashes past in a total of about 8 seconds max -- but -- it's TRUE !! You really DID see what you "thought" you did -- !! Yes, she's naked showering -- in all her splendor and glory -- ooohhhhh, how lovely she is!!! --What else ??? Oh yes -- the all black congregation at some little country church -- and the wonderful black preacher -- and all the great singing -- it brought instant tears to my eyes -- (and I'm a bit macho, you know -- well, to a degree) -- if anyone could listen to THAT singing -- and not be affected by it -- that soul is beyond redemption - no, this too is a MUST SEE in the movie -- it all makes sense - such polar opposite scenes thrown together in one movie -- just like it is in real life --I beg all you readers -- if you're contemplating the purchase of this great movie from the past -- it will ENRICH YOUR LIVES -- because it forces you to think about just what is important in this brief life here on earth -- !!! No further words needed here for this review -- purchase this movie now -- and give yourself (or friends / loved ones) a treasured gift !! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17544246-sullivans-travels](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17544246-sullivans-travels) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
