Martin Scorsese’s 10 essential movie posters.
Heaven.
He starts out with my second favorite movie poster of all time (the first being the poster for Chinatown). But boy, that Gilda poster is just glorious. Some really awesome posters there.

“Carl Laemmle offers Stroheim’s Wonder Play”
That’s an intriguing choice of phrase, isn’t it? But I love it. And it’s a great poster, the palette works and the title font is great.
At the bottom? “directed by STROHEIM himself” The capper. Wonderful. Thumbs up to Giant and Tagebuch as well.
