(Preface) 'Iconic graphic designer and Academy Award-winning filmmaker Saul Bass (1920-1996) defined an innovative era of cinema. His title sequences for films such as Otto Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm (1955) and Anatomy of a Murder (1959), Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958) and North by Northwest (1959), and Billy Wilder's The Seven Year Itch (1955) introduced the idea that opening credits could tell a story, setting the mood for the movie to follow. Bass's stylistic influence can be seen in a number of popular Hollywood franchises from the Pink Panther to James Bond, as well as in more contemporary works such as Steven Spiel-berg's Catch Me If You Can (2002), Burn After Reading (2008), and television's Mad Men. The first book to examine the life and work of the legendary graphic designer and filmmaker, Saul Bass: Anatomy of Film Design explores the designer's revolutionary career and his lasting impact on the entertainment and advertising industries...'
