"If they knew what they liked they wouldn't live in Pittsburg!"
Hollywood film director John Sullivan (Joel McCrea) argues to be able to make social realism, but his producers would rather he make something comic and light; arguing that he knows nothing of the lives of the general public. Thus he decides to hit the road as a hobo, with a romantic notion about a life of poverty, and ends up with Veronica Lake as his romantic interest and a rude awakening.
Sturges manages to produce a social commentary as well as an extremely funny film. A true classic.
