Magnificent entry in the “Road Movie” genre.
It’s a delightful page-turner that defies a plot synopsis.
Harry T. Lang, a 32 year old just aimlessly drifting through life, unhappily married- soon to be abandoned by his wife-, finds a job transporting from Chicago a super bus to its owner, a televangelist in Las Vegas.
The bus is decked out with a million dollars worth of gimmicks- not the least of which is a “fifteen foot high, hydraulically operated, lighted white cross on the roof of the bus”.
I’d love to see this short confection of hilarity and suspense turned into a film.
p. g. Sturges has written one of my favorite reads of the year.
