LOVE! RUN! HIDE! RUN! KILL! RUN! HATE!" "Based on the Novel by Stanley Wolpert"; depicting the life of Nathuram Godse, the man who assassinated Mahatma Gandhi) starring Horst Buchholz (as Nathuram Godse), Jose Ferrer, Valerie Gearon, Diane Baker, Robert Morley, Don Borisenko, and J.S. Casshyap (as Mahatma Gandhi) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that some people have credited the art on this poster to Saul Bass, and it certainly IS "in the Saul Bass style". There are a few websites that have this poster credited to Saul Bass, but we think it is likely that it is the work of another artist, and we don't want to say it is definitely Saul Bass without knowing for certain. In the case of this poster, we know that Saul Bass did a title treatment for the movie, as well as trade ads that were never used, so that might explain some of the confusion. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Saul Bass". Condition: good. There is slight discoloration scattered in some areas of the poster from exposure to moisture (it is more noticeable on back and in the upper and lower edges of the front.) Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
