固然那只是一個時期的Bass,對typography及幾何形狀、顏色很有一套,成就一種簡練別無分店的風格,與title sequence的爵士樂尤其絕配。這時期最有代表性是他為Otto Preminger設計的《Anatomy of a Murder》(1959)的海報,影響了很多人,包括Spike Lee 1995年的電影海報《Clockers》(下圖)。當時Saul Bass很不高興,說:「It's flattering that someone would look back and say it's terrific. But I'm also puzzled. Do these people have such paucity of imagination -- and the chutzpah -- that they would do this and think it would remain undetected?」。一年後,這位大師逝世了。他不知道,近年荷里活也吹起一陣「疑似Saul Bass」的設計風。老人家九泉之下,不知有甚麼感受?


在Youtube也找到了《心外幽情》的opening:

Sidney Lumet的新片Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (賊兄弟連環劫) 海報也請了Saul Bass上身.
