Title: With "Sullivans Travels" and this, how can you lose?
Review: The story of a young man named Woodrow Lafayette Pershing Truesmith (hey, it's Preston Sturges!) who was born on the same day his father died in the Great War and during WWII, he is discharged with hay fever. However, when he encounters some war vets, his "letters" are sent home to his mother that he was a battle hero by them, and after the lie, his whole town is after him even convincing him to run for mayor. A winner! This film really made me laugh and feel good! HOW COULD IT HAVE LOST THE 1944 BEST SCREENPLAY OSCAR WHICH IT WAS NOMINATED FOR??? This, along with the masterpiece "Sullivans Travels" (1941), shows what a GENIUS Mr. Sturges was. Buy this one and watch it over and over again. And in addition, why am I the first one reviewing this gem?
