1941 • Joel McCrea, Veronica Lake, Robert Warwick
Witty, unpredictable, and way ahead of its time, this Preston Sturges gem is one of the smartest comedies ever to come out of Hollywood’s Golden Age. It starts as a satire of movie-making, turns into a road movie, and somehow ends as a moving tribute to laughter itself. Veronica Lake is alluring—a real movie star—and the film’s writing is razor-sharp. You don’t get many chances to see this one on the big screen, and it’s absolutely worth it!
