Sullivan's Travels (1941, USA, 91 mins) dir. Preston Sturges

Sullivan: This picture is an ANSWER to Communists. It shows we're awake and not dunking our heads in the sand like a bunch of ostriches. I want this picture to be a commentary on modern conditions, stark realism, the problems that confront the average man.

LeBrand: But with a little sex.

Sullivan: A little, but i don't want to stress it. I want this picture to be a...document. I want to hold a mirror up to life. I want this to be a picture of dignity...a true canvas of the suffering of humanity.

LeBrand: But with a little sex in it.

Sullivan: [reluctantly] But with a little sex in it.
