Auction History Result 2d869 SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS deluxe 8x10.5 still '41 Joel McCrea holding sexy Veronica Lake by pool! Date Sold 10/5/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8" x 10 1/2" [20 x 27 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Sullivan's Travels, the classic 1941 Preston Sturges movie acting comedy ("Veronica Lake's on the take"; "Written and Directed by Preston Sturges"; about a Hollywood director who pretends to be a hobo in order to make a more realistic movie about the troubles of the poor, but he comes to realize that they don't want to see such a movie, and that they just want to get their mind off their troubles) starring Joel McCrea (in the title role as John Lloyd Sullivan), Veronica Lake, Robert Warwick, William Demarest, Margaret Hayes, Porter Hall, Franklin Pangborn, Eric Blore, and Esther Howard. Note that Veronica Lake was far along in her pregnancy (six months) when she signed to do this movie, but she was able to hide that fact from Preston Sturges. But as filming continued, it became painfully obvious, and Sturges became furious, but all he could do was "shoot around it", and part of the way this was done was by having her dress in baggy "men's" tramp clothes, which hid her figure, but which reduced her sex appeal considerably! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/2" [20 x 27 cm]. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Note that this still has a stamp on the back in the form of a diamond that has "TRR" running down the center. One certainly might wonder who placed this stamp there and why. The answer is that the still (and many others we are auctioning in this set of auctions) come to us from a still collector who has collected for many decades, and long ago he began stamping the back of his stills with this stamp, and "TRR" is his initials! Each of the stills is stamped lightly, and the stamp does NOT affect the front of the still. He is a VERY advanced collector, and he has consigned many wonderful stills to us! Condition: very good. There is staining on the back of the still, but it has no effect on the front. There is a small indentation in the lower right of the image background, but it is only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. Learn More about condition grades
