Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion

Very rare old handbill of the Hollywood movie, Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion (1950) for sale.

This is an actual surviving original vintage handbill of the 1950 comedy that starred the hit duo Bud Abbott and Lou Costello in lead roles.

Printed and circulated during the original first release run of the film in India (1951), this vintage handbill for sale was actually distributed outside a cinema hall that screened the film and possibly used as a flyer insert in local newspapers.

This old movie handbill features a combination of hand painted and photographic artwork. It was designed and printed for the promotion of the film at a prominent Indian theater (West End), where it was screened. The exact dates of release of the film (March 1951) are printed on the reverse side of this old movie handbill. The reverse side also contains teaser ads for upcoming films due to be screened in other theaters in the month of March (1951).
