| "Sullivan's Travels" is great, but even more flat-out funny more consistently from Preston Sturges is "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek". How it was ever able to get by the censors back then by clever writing makes it even more amazing! | |

| or even Palm Beach Story or Hail the Conquering Hero...Sullivan's Travels is very dark in sports, and often very serious. | |

| Agreed. Those are very funny films, especially the wacky "Palm Beach Story' whose hilarious but nonsensical opening during the title sequence is finally kind of explained and resolved at the film's finale. Mary Astor and Toto are especially standouts once they enter the film, though of course Claudette Colbert and Joel MacCrae were aces, with a very good indeed Rudy Vallee. | |

| And Lady Eve... Though most of Sturges except Christmas in July would be tough to stage. As for Some Like It Hot, like Tootsie, I'd say that if you don't like the source material, do your own musical. Or go back to an earlier source--like Servant of Two Masters--and work from there |
