An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) The Naughty Nineties, the 1945 Jean Yarbrough historical gambling screwball comedy ("Who's on First? Hear Abbott and Costello Tell Their Famous 'Baseball' story!"; about card sharks taking over a Mississippi riverboat and trying to convert it into a gambling casino) starring Bud Abbott ("Bud '23 Skidoo' Abbott"), Lou Costello (Abbott and Costello; "Lou 'Oh You Kid' Costello"), Alan Curtis, Rita Johnson, Henry Travers, Lois Collier, Joe Sawyer, Adelaide De Lapp, and Billy Ward. Note that some of the posters for this movie depict Abbott and Costello in baseball uniforms, with the tagline "WHO'S ON FIRST? Hear Abbott and Costello tell their famous 'BASEBALL' STORY!", and this is the only first release Abbott and Costello movie that has posters that feature them performing this most classic routine (the compilation film, "World of Abbott & Costello", also has posters that depict them performing this routine). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: very good. The poster was in quite nice condition prior to paperbacking. It was never folded, and had the most minor of border defects. At some point after paperbacking, the poster picked up two light partial diagonal creases in the top right corner, one in the background above the boat captain's hand, and the other, even lighter, running through the boat captain's face and hand. Neither faint crease is particularly noticeable at all, and they could be easily removed by a restorer without re-backing the poster. The poster is in really nice condition!
