Auction History Result 8j756 TIME OF THEIR LIVES military 1sh R60s Abbott & Costello, Marjorie Reynolds, wacky sci-fi! Date Sold 6/5/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1960s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Tri-Folded Military 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!".

Military one-sheets were printed at the same time as the regular U.S. one-sheets when the movie was first released. They were made to be used on U.S. military installations. Sometimes the poster has small writing at the bottom that says "For Distribution and Use at U.S. Military Establishments Only", and sometimes they just have "Litho in U.S.A." or "Printed in U.S.A." in small letters in the lower right (most often, the ones that were used in the 1950s in the Korean War have "Litho in U.S.A.", and the ones that were used in the 1960s in the Vietnam War have "Printed in U.S.A.). This is one of the posters that says "Printed in U.S.A.". Note that this poster was tri-folded only (which means there is no vertical machine fold) but because it would be more expensive to send flat, it will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. There are a few 2" and smaller tears and some areas of tattering around the edges of the poster. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
