Tonight's film is Sullivan's Travels a 1941 American comedy film written and directed by Preston Sturges. A satire of the film industry, it follows a famous Hollywood comedy director (Joel McCrea) who, longing to make a socially relevant drama, sets out to live as a tramp to gain life experience for his forthcoming film. Along the way he unites with a poor aspiring actress (Veronica Lake) who accompanies him. The title is a reference to Gulliver's Travels, the 1726 novel by satirist Jonathan Swift about another journey of self-discovery. - Wikipedia

Ramrod, a 1947 range war western directed by André De Toth stars Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake. A complex grown-up western with morally grey characters so you can’t make assumptions about how the story will end. A great western.

We see how the other half lives, or at least how they want to live, when we watch 1931's "Kept Husbands".
