I’ve not seen Jack Smight’s 1966 caper movie<\/a> for years, and don’t remember much about it beyond Maurice Binder’s kaleidoscopic title sequence. But I like this collage poster, a suitably frenetic piece for one of Hollywood’s many attempts throughout the 1960s to capitalise on modish fashion. I can’t find a credit for the designer so if anyone knows who was responsible, please leave a comment.<\/p>\n

This Polish poster, on the other hand, is the work of Witold Janowski<\/a> who successfully combines the film’s title with its playing card theme. Too arty and cerebral for Hollywood (No girls!…no guns!) but that’s how it is with all those great Polish poster artists.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> the US poster was by the great Bob Peak.<\/p>\n
