Today would have been Sergio Leone’s 96th birthday. He was born in Rome - not far from the Fontana di Trevi - on 3rd January 1929. His parents were Vincenzo Leone and Edvige Valcarenghi, who - under the names ‘Roberto Roberti’ and ‘Bice Waleran’ - both worked in the fledgling Italian film industry. When Fistful of Dollars was first released in autumn 1964, sixty years ago, Leone was credited as ‘Bob Robertson’ - “a homage to my father”.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SERGIO

The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) was released 50 years ago.
-
The ninth film in the James Bond series and the second to star Roger Moore as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond/007.
-
The huge scale of the Bond campaigns allowed an indulgent approach to poster design. A new Bond film could effectively sell itself and so a level of playfulness sometimes entered the marketing approach. For the advance poster for The Man With the Golden Gun, audiences were introduced to the eponymous golden gun in a detailed explanation of its inner workings. The ‘Style B’ poster centred the Bond villains, the only Bond poster from any film to do so. Artist Robert McGinnis still managed to squeeze in his ever-present Bond girls, though ... and Roger Moore’s infamous bell-bottoms.

Robert Bresson’s PICKPOCKET was released in Paris in 1959
-
The original French mini poster was by the Award-winning French artist Christian Broutin (b.1933).
Broutin’s design for PICKPOCKET was not part of the main promotional campaign and was only used on the mini poster in French. Of all his cinematographic artworks, it is apparently Broutin’s personal favourite.

Otto Preminger’s THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM premiered in New York in 1955
The American poster campaign was designed by Saul Bass (1920-1996)
-
Bass’s title sequence and poster campaign for The Man With The Golden Arm featured a jagged arm, suggestive of the jarring and disjointed existence of a drug addict. The poster graphics were greatly acclaimed by everyone except studio heads, who were nervous about using such an abstract approach as the heart of the campaign. They insisted that Bass superimpose photographs of the main actors onto the final poster. The ‘clean’ version, free of photographs, was only used on a handful of posters, including for the New York premiere of the film.
