A special screening of Preston Sturges’ SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS will include a post-film Q&A with Tom Sturges, son of director Preston Sturges, and Peter McCrea, son of star Joel McCrea. The Q&A will be moderated by Bruce Goldstein, Film Forum Repertory Artistic Director and curator of “Written and Directed by Preston Sturges,” the theater’s opening repertory festival. This event commemorates the festival's initial opening on September 7, 1990, where SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS premiered. Following the event, Tom Sturges will be available to sign copies of his new book, O Brother What Might Have Been, a collection of rediscovered Preston Sturges screenplays.

Sullivan's Travels with Tom Sturges (Son of Director Preston Sturges), Peter McCrea (Son of Star Joel McCrea)

Successful movie director John L. Sullivan, convinced he won't be able to film his ambitious masterpiece until he has suffered, dons a hobo disguise and sets off on a journey, aiming to "know trouble" first-hand. When all he finds is a train ride back to Hollywood and a beautiful blonde companion, he redoubles his efforts, managing to land himself in more trouble than he bargained for when he loses his memory and ends up a prisoner on a chain gang.
