Auction History Result 2b0505 KEEP 'EM FLYING WC 1941 Bud Abbott & Lou Costello in the United States Air Force! Date Sold 5/10/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 20" [36 x 51 cm]) (Learn More) Keep 'Em Flying, the 1941 Arthur Lubin pre-World War II (WWII) military United States Army Air Corps Air Force airplane aviation pilot screwball comedy ("Those big guns o' fun in a roaring salute to the Army Air Corps"; "You'll Bail out of your seat Laughing!"; "Original Story by Edmund L. Hartmann"; about a pair of bumbling stunt pilots who join the Army Air Corps) starring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello (Abbott and Costello), Martha Raye, Carol Bruce, William Gargan, Dick Foran, Charles Lang, and The Six Hits (a singing group that changed its number of members, and occasionally had a female member, at which point they would become "...and a Miss"). Note that this was Abbott and Costello's sixth movie together in a short time, and this time, The Andrews Sisters were not in the cast, but Martha Raye was. The timing for the movie was good, because it was made just weeks before Pearl Harbor, and of course, cinemas would soon be flooded with war movies! 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 been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 20" [36 x 51 cm]. Note that this window card is from a remarkable collection of 24 Abbott & Costello window cards (in 24 separate auctions) that a VERY dedicated collector assembled over many years! He has now consigned them to us, so this is a rare opportunity to purchase any of these window cards at one time, and of course, if one was dedicated enough, one could purchase all 24 and duplicate what took him decades to accomplish in a single day! Condition: good. The bottom 2" was trimmed off. The window card was mounted to a heavy board, but no restoration was performed, and it has a white scuff in the upper right and some light scuffs in the lower right, including ones going across the two stars' faces.
