Title: A must for Saul Bass fans!
Product review: 30 minutes of Saul Bass talking straight into the camera, explaining how he came up with his famous title sequences for IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD and MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM. He talks about 10 different title sequences, most of which I had never seen before but which are all including in their full length (except WESTSIDE STORY and MAD, MAD, which Bass himself said had to be shorted or we'd be here all night). But since I've watched this piece, I'm seeing these films all over cable and watching them just to see if the films are as good as Bass's title sequence!P.S. The Bass piece was clearly made in the late '70s (Bass's shirt has huge collars!).P.S. #2 There's many other great pieces on this DVD (an Eames piece, a montage experimental film from the 1940s, and some recent festival hits). But for my money, BASS ON TITLES alone is worth buying this DVD.
