SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS

One Sheet (27" x 41"); Style A
Very Fine- on Linen
Paramount, 1941

There are two styles: one sheet for this Preston Stugis comedy drama. The other version is a stylized caricature of Veronica Lake, wherein this style pictures the star as an imposing figure against a blue background. Tastes may be mixed on the better style, but this is our favorite.

The linen of this poster has been trimmed to the edge of the poster. There is sporadic airbrushing on the border, and the fold lines have been retouched. There are some touch-ups to a puncture in the credits.

Now considered one of director Preston Sturges' best productions, this ironic satire pokes fun at the movie industry, what defines a film as "important," and the sheltered outlook held by some of the fortunate inhabitants of Hollywood's upper class. Despite this being her first role as a lead actress, Veronica Lake is given total prominence on this vibrant one sheet.
