An Original Vintage English Movie Trade Ad (measures 11 1/4" x 17 1/4" [29 x 44 cm]; 2 pages) (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!".

Important Added Info: Note that this 11x17 English trade ad was removed from the Friday, October 18, 1946 issue of To-Day's Cinema, and there is text the back of both pages of the trade ad, but it does not affect the great image on the reverse, which absolutely can be displayed and enjoyed (and it is an original "poster" for the movie, printed when the movie came out). Condition: good to very good. The ad was removed from a magazine, and it has some creases and tiny scuffs scattered throughout. Learn More about condition grades
