Yes!
Sullivan's Travels is a good one, too. An altruistic yet pampered film director learns about the superficiality of romanticizing people's suffering (also during the Great Depression) and the true value of his work through a traumatic and life-altering bout with amnesia. One of the greatest "serious" films that is, in fact, a screwball comedy. Brilliant! And you get the most fabulous Veronica Lake, too.
