Vertigo '59 Us Half Sheet

Artist: Saul Bass

Note that John Whitney Sr. (who did the spiral title sequence for the movie) also did the spiral art for the posters from this movie, which was utilized by the poster artist Saul Bass.

Important Added Info: Note that the style B half-sheet has just the Saul Bass artwork, but this style A poster also has the stars at right. Some collectors prefer the poster with solely the art, but because this is a wonderful movie that is remembered as among the best work of both of these stars, many other collectors prefer this style, because that way they get images of the stars in addition to the great art! Most collectors don't realize that Saul Bass did many different designs for this classic movie! All look very similar, with the classic swirl, but the two figures are different on many of the posters!


Overall Condition: very good. The poster was folded once across the middle and twice vertically (on the left and right of the classic Bass art). There are creases in the top and bottom of the right vertical fold, extending into the area to the left and right of the foldline. There are similar creases (but a lesser amount in the top and bottom of the left vertical fold). There is brown staining in the upper right blank border, but it is extremely lucky that the staining in solely in the blank border. Other than the above defects, the poster is in surprisingly quite nice condition!

Anatomy of a Murder '59 US half sheet

Artist: Saul Bass

Scott (in his nominated for Best Supporting Actor Academy Award role), Orson Bean, Russ Brown, Brooks West, Murray Hamilton, and Joseph N. Welch ("as Judge Weaver"; the real life judge from the McCarthy hearings who did a great job in this classic movie!)

Important Added Info: Note that the style B half-sheet has a small body silhouette with an added large image above it of the stars behind blinds. Personally, I much prefer this style A half-sheet, which is solely the body silhouette image, surely one of the most famous movie posters images there is! Also note that this poster was never folded! An unfolded poster is almost always far more difficult to find than a folded poster of the same title, and finding unfolded posters in excellent condition is even more difficult!


Overall Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. There are some faint creases, smudges, and small stains scattered throughout the poster. There was a small V-shaped tear in the upper right background area, and someone put a piece of tape on the back of that. The poster has never had any restoration other than the single tape repair.
