Auction History Result 3t142 SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS WC '41 art of sexiest Veronica Lake, Joel McCrea, Preston Sturges Date Sold 12/14/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (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!

Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good to very good. The card has some faint brown staining scattered around the edges and in the white background areas. It has a blank paper glued to the top area that has darkened around the edges. There is a pinhole in the lower right. There were once four tiny pieces of tape of the back of the top of the left and right borders, but they were not put there for a restoration purpose. Other than the above defects, which have almost no effect on the image, the card is in surprisingly nice condition. In spite of these defects, the card displays great as it is, or certainly, it could have some professional restoration performed if the new owner desired. Learn More about condition grades
