About this product

Product Information

Frustrated film director Sullivan (Joel McCrea) is fed up with serving out easily digestible but ultimately meaningless chunks of comedy for the studios. He decides to set off across America to rediscover the daily lives of the Joe Lunchpails as research for his socially responsible next film, O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? Giving up all his unnecessaries, he begins his cross-country road trip in hobo's clothes with barely a dime in his pocket to regain his focus.

    What a great genre. Love the dialogue " Don't get Ritzy ", I' d look into your bridgework', The interchange when she meets him in the diner. There's a simple quality and elegance to this scene. A time when someone down on their luck would still look after the other guy. Though the film makes a few salient points about society it cleverly cloaks it with slapstick and escapism which was such a vital survival mechanism during the thirties. This explains why Shirley Temple was such a phenomenon. The actors are great, the character actors are wonderful. A really enjoyable snapshot of a bygone age.

  • A wonderful viewing experience

    This movie definitely lives up to its 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating. I was surprised I hadn't heard of it before. It is a very good film that rises to greatness by the time it reaches its conclusion. I highly recommend it to anyone who has not yet had the privilege of viewing it.

  • A film producer sets out to give the poverty stricken a movie they need. Attempting to prove his point, he learns his ideas are wrong.

    Was expecting a light hearted fluff piece. Instead was a serious look at flawed thinking. There is some good humor on the road to enlightenment.
