Saul Bass- The Man with the Golden Arm

These Credits were made by Saul Bass in 1955, for "The man with the golden arm". The credits themselves are really simple, in black and white, with white animated cut out paper that involve into "the arm"at the end of the credits, but these were the most famous title sequences he made. 

"The film was controversial for its time; the Motion Picture Association of America refused to certify the film because it showed drug addiction. The film was released without the MPAA's seal of approval. This sparked a change in production codes, allowing movies more freedom to more deeply explore hitherto taboo subjects such drug abusekidnappingabortion and prostitution."  Wikipedia
