Stanley Kramer's The Pride and the Passion, the 1957 Stanley Kramer historical Napoleonic War romantic adventure epic ("Stanley Kramer's monumental filming"; "The peak of motion picture making!"; "The Mighty One!"; "You have never seen its like - and may never see its equal!"; "Never has the camera's eye captured so much!

The 50,000-mile trek to capture it all!"; "Mightiest ever made!"; "Based on the novel 'The Gun' by C.S.

Artist: Saul Bass, Francisco de Goya & David Fredenthal
Important Added Info: Note that this auction contains a promotional package that was sent to an employee of United Artists. It contains a brochure (8 1/4" x 10 1/2"; 17 pages, which might have served as a program as the premiere, because it has full credits inside, but cleverly designed by Saul Bass!), a ticket (12 pages on a single sheet; measures 3 1/4" x 8 1/4", measures 3 1/4" x 44" when completely unfolded!), and a parking pass (2 pages; 3 3/4" x 6"). The "ticket" (which is over 3 feet!) and the brochure are two of the most elaborately designed ones we have ever seen, and both have an intricate die-cut "bullet hole" design on the cover (see our images and note that the ticket can only be seen in the Supersize images). Also note that this item, and several other rare Saul Bass items, were consigned to us by a very longtime Saul Bass collector who painstakingly tracked down these items over many years! This is a great opportunity to add rare unusual Saul Bass items to your collection.

Note: We have 16 images of the items in this set, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 16 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 6.

Condition: very good. The items have some minor wear but are generally in nice condition!
