An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Time of Their Lives, the 1946 Charles Barton Revolutionary War fantasy comedy ("Something NEW from BUD and LOU!"; about a tinker in George Washington's times, played by Costello, who, along with a pretty girl, played by Marjorie Reynolds, are both wrongfully killed by a traitor, played by Abbott; 170 years later, Costello and Reynolds' ghosts meet Abbott's descendant, who still lives in the house his ancestor lived in, and the ghosts search the house search trying to find a letter that proves their innocence) starring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello (Abbott and Costello), Marjorie Reynolds, Binnie Barnes, John Shelton, Jess Barker, Gale Sondergaard, Robert H. Barrat, and Lynn Baggett. Note that Universal was likely worried about this "different" Abbott & Costello comedy (involving ghosts and taking place in both Revolutionary War times and in the then present day), and maybe they were afraid that loyal Abbott & Costello fans didn't want to see them in something different, but whatever the reason, they completely ignored the plot of the movie in the advertising campaign, and the posters show Bud and Lou in present day outfits, with the tagline "Something NEW from BUD and LOU!". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair. There is water staining and 'softening' of the paper at lower left.
