An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36") (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!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that the designer of this insert found room for five large images of stars and small images of approximately 50 more people, but none of them were Abbott & Costello! Also note that this poster was machine folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: poor. Someone drew pencil mustaches and/or goatees on all five stars. There is much tape around the edges of the poster and some on the back of the borders. The poster is in URGENT need of expert professional restoration, and is in MUCH lesser condition! Please do not bid on this poster unless you have carefully read the above and are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
