Abbott and Costello
« on: October 18, 2011, 02:29:20 AM »

I came across this Danish poster but do not know anything about it. Can someone help me authenticate this. I do not have it in my possession but if it is authentic then I want to purchase it. Here is the thing though I have research this and I cannot find any information on this film at all. It translates to ABBOTT & COSTELLO "AT FULL SPEED" I looked up their films and could not find this one. Also if it is a movie of theirs when was it released? Anyone please help soon.

It might be The World Of Abbott & Costello.

Do you know why it would translate into "AT FULL SPEED"? I do see where you are coming from though on what it might be. It really looks like the same movie.

Researching "Jack E. Leonard" led me to that movie. I collect many foreign movie posters and when I check out on IMDB alternate movie titles for various countries for a movie, the titles are are often quite different. Couldn't find alternate titles though there for this movie.

I see. It is a neat poster but I cannot see paying $50 for it. Now that I have an idea of what it is.

I think it's just one of many A&C compilations.
This dealer has one.  You might want to write them with questions...
