What? 'No reference to 'Spellbound' and 'The Red House', George?

Since George has posted the Julius Caesar cover, perhaps someone can tell me what those ghastly illustrations are supposed to represent. For instance, Marlon Brando appears to be punching James Mason as he kisses Deborah Kerr, which I'm pretty sure didn't happen in the film. It looks like they gave the job to some 13 year old with only moderate talent and, of course, no taste. Blame M-G-M's art department. Maybe Brando was elbowing Greer Garson out of his way. More unfortunately the Intrada cover cropped the image of Louis Calhern's Caesar.

Give me1950s film artwork any day compared to the boring unimaginative photoshop designs which pass for artwork today. Yes, absolutely, but this is a horrible example. Everyone is in a ridiculous position unconnected with his/her role in the film, unless Brutus was a hot lover and Antony a prizefighter. I'm sure had Shakespeare seen it he'd have exclaimed, as I did at first sight, "WTF!!!", or at least the Elizabethan equivalent.

Oh, what's Bernard Herrmann and "Jason and the Argonauts" doing in this thread? The film is TERRIBLE and the music is not. What a come-down for Bennie. Well, maybe Bennie's out in a thread about MR, but why is it a bad film? Apart from that terrible cheesy dance routine that Medea and the temple hoofers try, it's a good, fairly faithful attempt at the myth. Am I detecting an agenda re those ancient Greek myths about how young men like Perseus and Jason go on a quest, slay the negative mother Medusa, rescue the girl and get initiated? I am, aren't I? Wicked girl ...
