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 poster 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. In addition, note that this poster has an NSS stamp on the back. After the "1SH. B", it says "BLOCK". We have auctioned this poster several times before and never noted this, so it would seem that those were not stamped that way, because we surely would have noted it. So this is something else that is unknown about this poster! Condition: fair. The poster is in much lesser condition. There are several defects scattered along the edges and foldlines/crossfolds and there are several significant areas of foldline and/or crossfold separation. Many of the defects have been repaired with tape from the back that may bleed through to the front. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
