An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (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 never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: fair. The poster was never folded. It has significant creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges (especially at lower left and right) and MANY tears are repaired with tape from the back. There are scuffs, creases and some smudges scattered throughout. There is pencil writing at lower right. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
