This movie poster by graphic designer and film maker Saul Bass was designed for the 1971 movie Such Good Friends.
The design itself is simple yet interesting. The way in which Bass has used simple curved block shapes to look like a pair of woman's legs  almost looks like a stencil print. This has been used as a focus point to the poster and stands out against the vibrant orange background, it's almost a red colour however not as stimulating to the eye as red is.
The way in which the poster has been put together  is so simple looking yet is a complicated design.
The type in all white caps I find interesting because of it's thin italic style, and close spacing looks good against the rest of the orange and black. 
The poster has been finished of with small rows of text at the bottom, which In my opinion the poster would have been better without, however necessary to give the viewer that small amount of information about the film.
