  1. Sullivan's Travels (1941)
    "Preston Sturges named his protagonist John L. Sullivan, a successful director of screwball comedies wrestling with whether to make a serious social-realist picture — a deliberate reflection of Capra's own arc from It Happened One Night to his later issue-driven films. Sturges' balance of comedy and Depression-era social awareness inherits directly from Capra's template." source
