Iconic and influential graphics by the great Saul Bass, designer of some of the most striking title sequences in modern cinema. His work can be seen in films by Hitchcock, Preminger, Kubrick and Scorcese (including the previously posted The Age of Innocence!)
"My initial thoughts about what a title can do was to set the mood and the prime underlying core of the film's story, to express the story in some metaphorical way. I saw the title as a way of conditioning the audience, so that when the film actually began, viewers would already have an emotional resonance with it."
