A 1956 Re-Release Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff, the 1949 Charles Barton screwball horror comedy ("More Ghoulish glee... Than when they met Frankenstein!"; "Help") starring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello (Abbott and Costello), Boris Karloff, Lenore Aubert, and Gar Moore. Note that this movie was originally titled "Easy Does It", and it was intended to be a Bob Hope comedy! However, the movie "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" had just come out and was a huge hit, and Universal reworked the script for Abbott & Costello, and changed the title to "Abbott and Costello Meet the Killers"! In that script, the lead villain was a FEMALE character named "Madame Switzer"! Five days before shooting began, Boris Karloff was hired, and the character became a swami, and the title of the movie was changed yet again, to include Boris Karloff's name!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: good to very good. The poster has separation in the center crossfold and ends of the vertical foldline and those are repaired with tape from the back that is slightly visible from the front (as well as a small portion of the upper right blank corner.) It has a few creases and small tears along portions of the lower horizontal fold. Despite the defects the art is mostly "all there" and it could be displayed as is, or after linenbacking with some restoration to the defects in the mostly solid-colored or blank areas of the poster it would look great!
