A
"It is, quite simply, a dazzling piece of filmmaking."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

A
"The genius of this classic opening scene is that Sullivan's Travels is both screwball comedy and socially conscious melodrama — as well as a satire of socially conscious melodrama, and a serious apologetic for crowd-pleasing comedy."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus
