If you've ever seen a film called Sullivan's Travels by Preston Sturgess you'll recognise the title - it's the name of a movie that the hero had planned to make. It was going to be a film desined to appeal to high-minded intellectuals, with a message. But after various rough adventures (some of which are echoed in the newer film as a kind of tribute), he decides its better to make enjoyable films to make people happy, with a different message.

Like this one - as you say, Barbara, it's an enjoyable film with great music, and some very funny stuff. But it disappoints you. Personally I think great music and funny stuff and an enjoyable evening adds up to one kind of great. In line with what I read as the message of the film by Preston Sturgess.

Try and see Sullivan's Travels anyway. Maybe it's a better film. In fact great. But the music isn't as good.
