In Harm's Way (1965)

In Harm's Way (1965), the US one-sheet for Preminger's Pacific war drama with John Wayne and Kirk Douglas. A huge black field is torn open by a white shape that reads as a naval sleeve with stripes and a star, its hand pointing forward like a command. With no ships, guns or explosions, the poster sells a World War II epic on rank and duty alone. The same emblem shrinks down to sit above the light blue title, so the sheet works as a logo as well as an image.
