Date Sold 4/9/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1950 (from the first release of this movie in Belgium) Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14 1/4" x 22 1/2" [36 x 57 cm]) (Learn More) One Night in the Tropics, the 1940 A. Edward Sutherland south-of-the-border singing-and-dancing musical romantic melodrama ("From the Novel 'Love Insurance', by Earl Derr Biggers"; "Jerome Kern tops 'Show Boat' and 'Roberta'!"; "starring this All-Star... All Entertainment Cast") starring Allan Jones, Nancy Kelly, Bud Abbott & Lou Costello (Abbott and Costello), Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings), Mary Boland, Leo Carrillo, William Frawley, and Peggy Moran. Note that this was Abbott & Costello's very first movie, and they are billed on this one-sheet as "Those Radio sensations of 'I'm a baaad boy' fame" (they are billed the same way on all of the other posters, and are not pictured on any posters or the title card, but they ARE pictured on the herald!). Apparently, Universal did not realize what a gold mine they would soon have in this incredible comedy duo, but they made up for it by rushing them into many movies over the next several years! 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 can't say exactly when this poster is from. But it seems possible that it would date from perhaps 1941, long enough after the movie was first released, but after the famous duo had become major stars. It is also quite possible it dates from after World War II, in which case it is likely from the first Belgian release. If anyone knows for certain when this poster was made, please e-mail us and we will post it here. In any event, this is perhaps the only poster from this, Abbott & Costello's first movie, which features them prominently on the poster! The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards) Condition: very good. The poster's top blank area was neatly trimmed off. There was very minor wear on the foldlines and a few tiny smudges and dot stains in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
