Staff Pick: Sullivan's Travels

Director of Development & Marketing Beth Gilligan is here with our latest Coolidge Staff Pick, highlighting Preston Sturges' Sullivan's Travels.

Along with being extremely funny, Gilligan says, "it really speaks to the power cinema has to uplift us and to bring us together during challenging and uncertain times."
Watch the intro below, and then sit down to watch the film, which is available to rent on most platforms.
