Original U.S. Half-Sheet Poster (22x28) Restoration Mounted on Stiff Paper Fine Plus

Universal PIctures Original U.S. Half-Sheet Poster for the Abbott and Costello knockout comedy HOLD THAT GHOST (1941), directed by Arthur Lubin. The film stars the comedy duo Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. The rest of the cast reads like a Universal B-picture "best of" list. Richard Carlson, Joan Davis, Evelyn Ankers, Shemp Howard, Mischa Auer and William B. Davidson round out the cast. And throw in the Andrews Sisters and Ted Lewis and His Orchestra for some musical numbers. Abbott and Costello were riding high after the great success of their movie BUCK PRIVATES (1941). Originally titled OH, CHARLIE, production was interrupted so that the boys could make another service comedy, IN THE NAVY (1941), but then resumed and released under the new title. Clearly HOLD THAT GHOST is regarded as one of the very best of the Abbott and Costello comedies. Posters are in great demand. This poster is paper-backed. It was in great native condition except for a small tear in a background area which has been skillfully repaired. MovieArt Original Film Posters in Austin, Texas guarantees that this poster is authentic.
