Sullivan's Travels (1941 Preston Sturges & scr)

Interesting that film director invokes Make Way For Tomorrow at one point - Sturges a fan (Veronica Lake hasn't heard of it). And the black chapel: Sturges is not a show off director, but I love his low shot of the chained feet coming in, parting (like the Red Sea) revealing the pastor in the background. Also I love the scene in which Lake begs McCrea to take her on the road with him and Robert Greig joins in - she has no idea he's married (purely for tax reasons, you understand).

Otherwise, fully reviewed elsewhere. Other reviews need not apply.
