Auction History Result 5r1439 SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS LC 1941 sexy smoking Veronica Lake & Joel McCrea in bed, Preston Sturges Date Sold 12/21/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 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!

Important Added Info: Note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good to very good. There are several pairs of staple holes in the top of the card, with a few pinholes down the center of the card (one in Lake's sleeve and one in the background to the right of her shoulder). There are tiny creases, tiny stains, and some faint smudges around the edges. There is a tiny tape stain and surface paper loss on the back of the center of the right blank border, as well as surface paper loss on the back of the top center, where tape was removed, but they have no effect on the front.
