Auction History Result 7y001 SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS style A 1sh '41 Veronica Lake, Joel McCrea, Preston Sturges! Date Sold 10/20/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. There are pinholes around the edges of the poster and a few small tears in the borders. There is a tiny pinhole in the left of the top foldline and also a tiny tear in the left of the bottom foldline. There is a smudge in the bottom of the "r" of "Veronica" in the credits. There is paper loss in the bottom right corner caused by pins being roughly removed. There are some tiny areas of paper loss in the top blank border. There is a clear tape repair on the back of the bottom two crossfolds, a tiny clear tape repair on the back of the right border, two tiny tape repairs on the back of the left border, and a 2" piece of clear tape on the back of the top of the vertical foldline. Other than the above and a few creases scattered through the poster, the poster is in pretty nice condition, and it either could be displayed just as it is, or after a simple linenbacking, the poster will look fantastic with almost no paint restoration anywhere in the image!
