Artist: Saul Bass Important Added Info: Note that this poster is the only one that Saul Bass created for the No Way Out advertising campaign (apart from a trade ad). Erik Nitsche designed several posters for this movie, the one-sheet and 24-sheet was designed by Paul Rand, but this insert is the only poster from this title that has Saul Bass art. One unifying image from the advertising campaign is the provocative handcuffs/bed image (first suggested by Bass) which he, Rand and Nitsche all used in their designs. Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would have a strong chance of lessening its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage). What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had very minor fold wear. It had a thin strip of paper loss in the lower left blank border that ran for 4" and was 1/2" wide at its widest. Only blank white paper was affected. It had a few small tears in the rest of the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
