Auction History Result 5k432 SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS Belgian '47 Preston Sturges, art of sexiest Veronica Lake, Joel McCrea! Date Sold 12/6/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1947 (from the first release of this film in Belgium) Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14" x 21 1/2" [36 x 55 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!
