The same design was used for the invitations to the screening at the Cannes Film Festival.
What Saul did was stack all the printed cards up and have them attacked with a flame thrower.
When you took the invitation card out of the envelope, little pieces of burned paper fell out.

What I like? At the time I first saw it, it didn't impress me much, but it surely has grown on me. Made right after Porgy and Bess, Preminger must have been so sick of studio work that it was all shot on location (by Sam Leavit). I detested the boring music but concede the sound-track was a boringly big hit. That final shot of army trucks crawling through the Israel landscape has really turned out to prophetic. |
