This masterpiece by Preston Sturges is perhaps the finest movie-aboutp-a-movie ever made. Hollywood director Joel McCrea, tired of chuming out lightweight comedies, decides to make O Brother, Where Art Thou-a serious, socially responsible film about human suffering. After his produers point out that he knows nothing of hardship, he hits the road as a hobo, He finds the lovely Veronica Lake-and more trouble than he ever dreamed of.
