Date Sold 2/28/2008Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36 1/4") (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!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster will need to be sent in a very large flat package that measures approximately 16" x 38" x 1" high, so please bear the shipping costs of this very large package in mind BEFORE you place a bid! Also note that the designer of this insert found room for five large images of stars and small images of approximately 50 more people, but none of them were Abbott & Costello! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: good to very good. Prior to being paperbacked, the poster was folded in the usual way. There was a 2" tear in the center of the bottom border with tape on the back that bled through to the front and there were two 3" tears near the center of the top border, extending into Jones' forehead. The person who restored the poster did a pretty good job of touching up the above defects, but they are still noticeable, especially upon close inspection. Learn More about condition grades
