An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (11x14; LC; measures 11" x 14") (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. Condition: good to very good. The card had tiny pinholes, tears, creases, and smudges around the edges and a few minor defects scattered in the image, including a pinhole in the background between the two stars and one in the upper part of Lake's dress. Some restorer "starch backed" the card and bleached the card, performing slight touch up to the border defects and very little touch up within the image. The card displays quite well, but it has somewhat of a "restored look" to it. Learn More about condition grades
