I thought the same thing the moment I saw David's post.   

 

If you're going to emulate another designer, he's not a bad choice though.

Subject: [MOPO] "On the Waterfront" and "Rocky" one-sheets, 2010 designs.

I vaguely recall a discussion about the outstanding graphics of the new August 
2010 one-sheets associated with Alamo Drafthouse's "one-night-only" screenings 
of classic films - at the original venues where the films were shot.  The story 
finally made it to the WSJ this week and the poster images which really 
impressed me were from "On the Waterfront" and "Rocky."  I wish these had been 
the original USA issue posters back in 1954 and 1976.  The pigeon "shadow" 
over-layed on Brando's image is particularly spooky.  A gallery of these 
posters, which were created by Britain's Oliver (Olly) Moss, is visible at the 
following link:  http://bit.ly/9Zk3Un
