1941 Preston Sturges masterpiece starring Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake about a Hollywood comedy director who poses as a bum to find out about the real world. In this scene he starts his trip at a local diner at the edge of town and meets the sultry Ms. Lake and forms a lasting friendship. Writer and film critic James Agee wrote of Sullivan's Travels: "A brilliant fantasy in two keys -- slapstick farce and the tragedy of human misery."

  • The most adorable scene in Hollywood history! Lake is astonishing! Disarmingly beautiful, and the dialogue! Impeccable, whip-smart one-liners from both Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake - and to think Lake was pregnant here! She's gorgeous!!!

  • @MrJazzHOP The camera loved her. This is my favorite Veronica Lake scene, even over her singing in This Gun For Hire.

  • I'll research it out and post what I find.

  • Yes, quite a sad commentary on where we are today 70 years later.  Excellent point!

  • Terrific comment. You really hit on the head about Lake. She had "it" as they say in the business. I believe this scene shows that off more than any other.

  • Agreed. We just have to be thankful for the vast library of older movies with snappy dialogue now available on DVD!

  • Nice reference to Lubitsch there. Smart man that Preston Sturges. Nifty dialogue too. Now what's left me shocked: they said Veronica Lake couldn't act. Not at all what I am getting from this clip.

    And I like her a lot: she looks like a doll but talks like a proper woman. Very nice.

  • she is evil in her own special way

  • @TheBloomdido My sentiments exactly!

  • Do you know if this movie is public domain? We want to use a section of it in a documentary series we are creating.
