Old gold.

"Sullivan's Travels."

Big shot Hollywood boy genius director decides he's going to make a movie about the poor and downtrodden. His boss points out that the director grew up well off and has been making $10,000 a week since he graduated college.

So he decides to hit the road and see what poverty is really like...

Classic Hollywood screwball comedy
