Sullivan's Travels (1941): Sullivan Dresses As Hobo

The clip Sullivan dresses as hobo from Sullivan's Travels (1941) with Robert Greig, Joel McCrea

How's this?
Isn't that overdoing it, a bit sir?
Why break their hearts?
All right. Let's try that one again.
I think this one's sufficiently seedy, sir.
There's no use overplaying it, is there, sir?
Yes?
Your wife is on one, sir.
What does she want?
I suspect it has something to do with today's being the 15th.
Payday. All right, put her on.
You may connect Mrs. Sullivan.
Yes?
You don't happen to remember what day this is, do you, dear?
Yes, I happen to remember what day it is.
No, I haven't forgotten anything. Have you?
Perhaps I could be a little more polite, Mrs. Sullivan,
but somehow, when I talk to you I don't feel polite.
I regret it, but that's the way it is.
I don't know whether I signed it or not.
I always close my eyes when I sign your check.
Maybe I signed the blotter.
Have you made out the Panther Woman's check yet?
You better get it down to her before she comes up here with the sheriff.
She has a very peculiar sense of humor.
Good morning, sir.
Good morning, Burrows. How do you like it?
I don't like it at all, sir. Fancy dress, I take it?
What's the matter with it?
I have never been sympathetic...
to the caricaturing of the poor and needy, sir.
Who's caricaturing?
Burrows doesn't know about the expedition, sir.
I'm going out on the road to find out what it's like to be poor and needy,
and then I'm going to make a picture about it.
If you'll permit me to say so, sir, the subject is not an interesting one.
The poor know all about poverty...
and only the morbid rich would find the topic glamorous.
But I'm doing it for the poor. Don't you understand?
I doubt if they would appreciate it, sir.
They rather resent the invasion of their privacy, I believe quite properly, sir.
Also, such excursions can be extremely dangerous, sir.
I worked for a gentleman once who likewise, with two friends,
accoutred themselves as you have, sir, and then went out for a lark.
They have not been heard from since.
