Bonjour Tristesse (1958)

Bonjour Tristesse (1958), the US one-sheet for Preminger's film of Françoise Sagan's novel. A face drawn in a few dry blue brushstrokes, with heart-shaped pupils, sheds one heavy black teardrop on a sand-colored ground: summer romance and sorrow in a single mark. It is the loosest, most hand-made of his Preminger posters, and the small "Designed by Saul Bass" line runs up the right edge of the sheet.
