...just not as funny as its choir of supporters have made it out to be.
June 27, 2007
A dubious proposition, but in Sturges's hands a charming one, filled out by his unparalleled sense of eccentric character.
April 18, 2012
a highly satirical piece, poking fun at Hollywood itself and showing how out of touch it can be
April 01, 2005
A delicious tragi-comedy set during the Great Depression.
October 19, 2009
It is, quite simply, a dazzling piece of filmmaking.
June 27, 2007
Sturges' dialog is trenchant, has drive, possesses crispness and gets the laughs where that is desired.

Sullivan's Travels is a gem, an almost serious comedy not taken entirely seriously, with wonderful dialogue, eccentric characterisations, and superlative performances throughout.
February 03, 2009
Not remotely a defense of junk, but it does respect comedy as a force for escapism.
July 08, 2004
Its message drags it from the front guard of Sturges's work, but it shines nonetheless.

... 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.
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.
September 28, 2015
Hard-nosed, farcical, tender, critical, satirical, elitist and populist all at once.
