Preston Sturges

Preston Sturges directs this WWII-era comedy farce about a woman who wakes up the morning after a wild farewell party for the U.S. troops to find that she married someone she can't remember.

Successful movie director John L. Sullivan, convinced he won't be able to film his ambitious masterpiece until he has suffered, dons a hobo disguise and sets off on a journey, aiming to "know trouble" first-hand. When all he finds is a train ride back to Hollywood and a beautiful blonde companion, he redoubles his efforts, managing to land himself in more trouble than he bargained for when he loses his memory and ends up a prisoner on a chain gang.

Screen legends Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda star in this 1941 Oscar-nominated rom-com.
