Date Sold 8/13/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Kraftbacked Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 40 3/4" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) One Night in the Tropics, the 1940 A. Edward Sutherland south-of-the-border singing-and-dancing musical romantic melodrama ("From the Novel 'Love Insurance', by Earl Derr Biggers"; "Jerome Kern tops 'Show Boat' and 'Roberta'!"; "starring this All-Star... All Entertainment Cast") starring Allan Jones, Nancy Kelly, Bud Abbott & Lou Costello (Abbott and Costello), Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings), Mary Boland, Leo Carrillo, William Frawley, and Peggy Moran. Note that this was Abbott & Costello's very first movie, and they are billed on this one-sheet as "Those Radio sensations of 'I'm a baaad boy' fame" (they are billed the same way on all of the other posters, and are not pictured on any posters or the title card, but they ARE pictured on the herald!). Apparently, Universal did not realize what a gold mine they would soon have in this incredible comedy duo, but they made up for it by rushing them into many movies over the next several years!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 27" x 40 3/4" [69 x 104 cm]. Also note that this poster has been kraftbacked, which means it was backed onto a brown paper soon after it was printed (this process is called "kraft-backing", and posters with it are called "kraft-backed"). One could have it professionally removed from the kraft paper and linenbacked, and it would look great! Condition: good to very good. The poster was kraftbacked (see above). It has some creases and some fold wear. It is otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
