Date Sold 5/10/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (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! 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 we have only previously auctioned one example of this window card, and that was 5 years ago, when it sold for $724! That example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! Note that the designer of this window card found room for five large images of stars and small images of approximately 50 more people, but none of them were Abbott & Costello (although they are billed in the same way as they are on the one-sheet, which is "Those Radio sensations of 'I'm a baaad boy' fame")! 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 to very good. There is light discoloration around the edges, but otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
