If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that many people have credited the art on this banner, which we have never auctioned before, to Saul Bass, and it certainly IS "in the Saul Bass style". While there are many, many websites that have this poster credited to Saul Bass, we think it is the work of another artist. This was confirmed by a collector who created an exhibition of Bass art, and was told by Saul's daughter that this poster was not created by her father. In the case of this poster, we know that Saul Bass did a title treatment for the movie, 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 this poster is very long, but because it is not very wide, it can be sent in a regular size tube. However, it can NOT be combined with other rolled posters, and must be either sent by itself (or combined with other paper banners that are exactly like this). Please bear this in mind before bidding on this poster. Condition: good. The poster has creases, smudges and scuff marks scattered throughout (typical of many banners that were displayed theatrically) and there are two partial footprints at upper left in the blank area (see our image). It has some slight discoloration to the right of the title. Learn More about condition grades
