Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
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.

Viewing Notes
More from 1941. Veronica Lake is really good in this even if she’s still wearing pristine makeup when she’s disguised as a hobo. This is great film example of white privilege / upper class bias. Also a really good film for its time. Interesting to see a Disney cartoon in this Paramount feature.
