An Original Vintage Piece of Concept Art (measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Phase 4, the 1974 Saul Bass (famous as the title designer for many wonderful movies!) killer ants science fiction (sci-fi) insect horror thriller ("The day the Earth was turned into a cemetery! Ravenous invaders controlled by a terror out in space... Commanded to annihilate the world!"; "Phase IV When you can't scream anymore!") starring Nigel Davenport, Michael Murphy, Lynne Frederick, Alan Gifford, Robert Henderson, and Helen Horton NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Walter Glinka Important Added Info: Note that before artwork was approved for posters, sometimes mock-ups were created of several different possibilities, so that the producers could choose the one they want. In this case, Saul Bass' friend Walter Glinka had two 8x10s printed on Kodak paper showing two designs in black and white, and a third 11x14 photostat showing one of the other two designs, but with different taglines. The three of these have completely different images and different taglines from that which was ultimately used (and unfortunately, these unused designs are, to my mind, far superior to that of the campaign that was used instead). Note that this is one of fifteen Saul Bass related items we were consigned from a very longtime Saul Bass collector. While Saul Bass did some incredibly memorable movie posters (including Vertigo and Anatomy of a Murder), much of his work only appeared in print ads, often in exhibitor magazines, and locating those ads (either in the magazine, or cut out of them) is incredibly difficult, because the magazines only went to theater owners, and virtually no one saved them! This is a great opportunity to obtain extremely rare Saul Bass items. Condition: very good. The three items all have some wear around the edges (the photostat has black border area that is very unevenly discolored, and could be matted over or trimmed off; see our images).
