I've always loved the set photographs from Preston Sturges's films, so here's a thread
Talmadge Morrison (1892-1974) took photos for Christmas in July, 1940, & Sullivan's Travels, 1941
He benefits from John Seitz's cinematography, & the art direction of Hans Dreier & Earl Hedrick

Joel McCrae & Veronica Lake look just as good in the "owl wagon" as they do by the pool.

Talmadge Morrison's shot of the legendary makeup artist Wally Westmore, with the gorgeous Veronica Lake, on the set of Sullivan's Travels.

A Talmadge Morrison shot becomes a great poster for Sullivan's Travels. That's Victor Potel as the cameraman; I wonder if Sturges modelled his character after real still photographers.
Potel was in most of Sturges's films; he has 448 acting credits on IMDb!

A lovely shot by Talmadge Morrison of Joel McCrae & Veronica Lake, in Preston Sturges's Sullivan's Travels, 1941

My favourite Preston Sturges film is The Lady Eve, 1941. The still photographer was G.E. Richardson, who also worked on the set of The Great McGinty, 1940

What a shot by G.E. Richardon from the set of The Lady Eve! Look at the martini glasses in the foreground! Barbara Stanywck, Henry Fonda, & the superb Eugene Pallette.

The still photographer on Hail the Conquering Hero, 1944, was Jack Hoffman. This is his only IMDb credit as a set photographer.
I love his shot of Preston Sturges with his two-year old son Solomon Sturges IV (who became a TV actor).

Unfortunately, there's no still photographer listed on IMDb for Palm Beach Story, 1941. I wonder if either Talmadge Morrison or G.E. Richardson might have taken these.

The Preston Sturges films are, of course, so incredibly funny & clever. But they also look so great: Hans Dreier & Ernst Fegté do great things in Art Direction once again. And the costumes! Miss Colbert's gowns - & what ever this is - are by Irene.

Preston Sturges directs Harold Lloyd & Frances Ramsden in The Sin of Harold Diddlebock. It may not have been top level Sturges, but it gave us one of the great photographs of a director in action, by Bob Landry for Life Magazine, 1945.

Preston Sturges directs his star, Harold Lloyd, in The Sin of Harold Diddlebock. A troubled project, & not one of his best films.

Here's one of the greatest of all movie cast photos, but there's unfortunately no photographer credit! Betty Hutton & Eddie Bracken, with a big subset of Preston Sturges's stock company, in The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, 1943.

Preston Sturges had a very fine still photographer on the set of Unfaithfully Yours, 1948: Ray Nolan, who also worked on All About Eve
Linda Darnell, Kurt Kreuger, Barbara Lawrence & Rudy Vallee

Ray Nolan's photograph from the set of Unfaithfully Yours features photographers - it's always cool to see the cameras - & again we have a great poster.

I'll tack on some more Ray Nolan photos to the end of this thread. His work on Joseph L. Mankiewicz's All About Eve, 1950, is outstanding.
Bette Davis, Thelma Ritter, Celeste Holm & Hugh Marlowe

Another Ray Nolan photo from the All About Eve set. Marilyn Monroe, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Gary Merrill & Gregory Ratoff

A famous photograph of the cast of All About Eve, which I presume is by the still photographer on the set, Ray Nolan. Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Hugh Marlowe & Gary Merrill. What a superb ensemble!

Cinematographer Milton R. Krasner makes sure that Marilyn Monroe is lit properly. All eyes were on Marilyn in her scenes in All About Eve, 1950, early in her career.
