An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (Spanish/US 1sh; printed in the U.S. for use with Spanish speaking audiences; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man, the 1951 Charles Lamont science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy screwball horror comedy ("It's all New and a Riot too!"; "Hair raising! Howl raising! Hilarity!"; "You'll shiver... You'll shudder... You'll shout with laughter!"; incredibly loosely based on the classic novel by H.G. Wells) starring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello (Abbott and Costello), Nancy Guild, Adele Jergens, Arthur Franz (in the title role as the Invisible Man, Tommy Nelson), William Frawley, Sheldon Leonard, and Paul Maxey. Note that Costello is a detective in this movie, and he wears a deerstalker hat and smokes a pipe, in an obvious hommage to Sherlock Holmes! 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 we have only auctioned three examples of this poster before! Also note that this one-sheet was printed in the United States for use at theaters with Spanish speaking audiences (this was done most by MGM, starting in the 1930s, but it was done by the other major studios as well, and often the posters would have the exact same image as the English language poster, except the writing would be in Spanish, and on posters from the 1930s and 1940s there would be an added "Toda en Espanol!", meaning "Entirely in Spanish!", printed within the image). Sometimes posters from the 1960s or later will have the word "SPANISH" printed in the bottom border (or sometimes stamped on the back of the poster). Condition: fair to good. The poster has many tiny irregular areas of paper loss scattered down the vertical foldline and around the edges. There are also pinholes around the edges and there is small separation and paper loss at the top crossfold. After proper restoration the rare poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
