A a successful director, disdainful of his own hit comedy ‘Hey, Hey in the Hayloft’, vows that his next film, O Brother Where Art Thou?, will deal with the plight of the working man. Despite several unsuccessful attempts to escape the studio’s publicity machine, Sullivan naively hits the road dressed as a hobo; but neither the love of waif-like Veronica Lake nor a phone number hidden in his shoe can protect him from the brutal reality of Depression America.
This film is part of the Celebrating Classic Cinema: Curator and Audience Favorites series at LACMA.
Admittance to this film also includes admittance to To Be or Not to Be at 9:10 PM.
