film,Gulliver's Travels; Deanna Durbin actually had nothing to do with the film,although Ideal
found it convenient to use the model for the Gulliver doll,simply changing the wig and using
painted eyes. The doll wears its original costume with satin shirt,brown knit pants,vest,belt
and leatherette boots. Value Points: rare doll with wonderfully-preserved condition,included is
a signed note from the original owner reading,"Gulliver,Princess Gloria and Prince David were

between 1937-1940".
