An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 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!

Important Added Info: UPDATED 05/17/2021: Note that we have updated the wording in the Condition Description. Condition: good to very good. The poster has a 1" tear approximately 3" to the left and right of both the top and bottom crossfolds and those crossfolds have some separation and tiny paper loss. Each defect was backed with clear tape and the tears were also slightly touched up with dry pastel applied with a dry brush in the dark-colored areas. There are tiny pinholes around the edges. It is otherwise in generally nice condition and the poster does display well as is from a reasonable viewing distance, but after linenbacking with some proper restoration it would look fantastic!
