Description

Sullivan's Travels (Paramount, 1941). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A. Considered by many to be writer-director Preston Sturges's finest film, this was the story of a director's desire to quit making fluff pictures and go out and see the "real" world so that he can make a serious film. The slapstick and pathos that mark this adventure of director Joel McCrea and beautiful Veronica Lake are as wonderful today as the day the film was made. Other than the one sheet for This Gun For Hire, there isn't a Veronica Lake one sheet that is more collectible. Add to that the fact that this Style A for Sullivan's is the rarer of the two, and you come up with a peek-a-boo blonde you must have for your collection. Prior to restoration, there were pinholes in the corners and borders, crossfold separations with some paper loss, a tear in the bottom left corner, chips in the corners and borders, and a chip in the "S" in "SULLIVAN'S". Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
