SUCH GOOD FRIENDS
Otto Preminger, 1971


PHASE IV
Saul Bass, 1974


the letter used was designed by Dutchman Wim Crouwel
whose bureau designed plane livery and titles for Dakota
restored from a National Screen Service frame


The story is that, after Phase IV flopped,
Saul Bass lost his taste for working in motion pictures.
This is doubtful to me. But, for whatever reasons,
he did less work in titles for a period.
