Auction History Result 7t0856 ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET THE KILLER BORIS KARLOFF Italian locandina 1950 different & rare! Date Sold 3/2/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1950 (from the first release of this movie in Italy) Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Locandina Movie Poster (measures 13" x 27 1/2" [33 x 70 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!

We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has slight discoloration scattered in the upper half due to exposure to moisture but it is somewhat more noticeable no back than on the front. It has some small tears in portions of the blank border edges and some pinholes around the edges. It is otherwise still quite displayable, but it is also likely that many or most of the stains can be removed chemically during the linenbacking process, after which the very rare poster would look great!
