Vertigo (1958)

Vertigo (1958), the US one-sheet for Alfred Hitchcock's thriller, shown in a restored scan with its fold marks cleaned up. A black silhouette of a man and a woman tumbles into a white spiral on orange, and the spiral does what no still of James Stewart could: it makes the viewer feel the dizziness the title promises. The spiral art came from John Whitney, who also made the spirals in the film's opening titles, which Bass designed, so poster and screen share one image. Kim Novak and Stewart get their names in heavy black letters across the top.
