During his 40-year career Bass worked for some of Hollywood's greatest filmmakers, including Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, Billy Wilder, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese. Amongst his most famous title sequence are the animated paper cut-out of a heroin addict's arm for Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm , the text racing up and down that eventually becomes a high-angle shot of the United Nations building in Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest , and the disjointed text that races together and apart in Psycho.
This was one of Saul Bass's most famous works and it also has his iconic trade mark theme of straight lines.
