MOVIE WORK

Alas, not all of us have broadband.
Even then, loading a page with info on all the Saul Bass movies takes some time.
They have been split up in five sections:

before 1960
1960 - 1969
1970 - 1979
1980 - 1989
1990 and later

The movies are listed in chronological order with director and year of production.
If nothing further is mentioned, Saul Bass made titles "only"—as far as I know now.
For those he did not make titles for, look at his posters. There are more than you may think.
Stefan Blau of Germany was a big help in correcting these lists, no kidding.
I am also much obliged to Fernando Ferreira, Brazil, who supplied further material and more titles.

Movie memorabilia is a great way to honor and remember cinematic genius. You can also find vintage movie posters, art and even old school lobby cards to keep the legends alive. Finding hollywood movie posters is now easier than ever.

The alphabetical list below with links to the movies can be found on every page.
Films directed by Saul Bass are listed bold.
