Reviews of SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS:
"Sullivan's Travels is a gem, an almost serious comedy not taken entirely seriously, with wonderful dialogue, eccentric characterisations, and superlative performances throughout."
- Geoff Andrew, Time Out
4 stars out of 4: "Tired of making fluff, movie director McCrea decides to do a 'serious' film; to research it, he sets out with 10 in his pocket to experience life in 'the real world.' Slapstick and sorrow blend seamlessly in this landmark Hollywood satire, which grows more pertinent with each passing year. A unique achievement for writer-director Sturges."
- Leonard Maltin Movie Review
"The most ambitious of Preston Sturges' string of 1940s classics, Sullivan's Travels is a brilliant mixture of genres, combining giddy comedy with often brutal realism, made all the more powerful by the contrast."
- Mark Pittillo, Rovi

Reviews of O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?:
"A rambunctious and inspired ride."
- A.O. Scott, New York Times
"A cockeyed marvel of a comedy packed with amazing set pieces and glorious music."
- Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
"It's a new new thing, classic myth from both literature and the movies, commingled, set to great folk music, and untrammeled by any sense of predictability, urgency, realism or believability but hypnotic, graceful and seductive."
- Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
