In Society (the posters make it look like the title is "Bud Abbott and Lou Costello In Society"), the 1944 Jean Yarbrough musical screwball comedy ("The Kings of Comedy are back!"; "Their first in a year! Their funniest of all!"; "The comedy kings are back! In their first in a year... and their funniest of all!") starring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello (Abbott and Costello), Marion Hutton, Arthur Treacher, Kirby Grant, Thomas Gomez, Anne Gillis, Will Osborne and His Orchestra, The Three Sisters (Margie, Bea, and Geri), and Don Barclay. Note that "The Three Sisters" only appeared in this one movie. They were also known as "The Fontane Sisters", and they had a gigantic hit in 1951 when they sang "It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas" with Perry Como!

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had two extra horizontal folds, with creases along those folds. There were a few creases, small tears, and tiny paper loss around the edges, and a stain in the bottom left background area. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
