Best known for his collaborative work with Hitchcock, Preminger and Scorsese, ‘Bass On Titles’ presents a comprehensive, well-rounded retrospective of Saul Bass’ film title sequence design. Academy Award winner Saul Bass (1920-1996) is regarded as the inventor of modern film title sequences. This DVD explores the title sequences from The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), West Side Story (1961), Walk On The Wild Side (1962), It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963) and Seconds (1966). Bass also provides fascinating insight into some of his lesser known titles, such as Grand Prix (1966), Nine Hours To Rama (1963), The Victors (1963), In Harm's Way (1965) and The Big Country (1958). This is the first in the excellent Design On DVD series – set to cover the work of influential designers who have explored film as a creative medium. Fascinating viewing - Highly recommended.
