That's the work of Jacques Kapralik, who did collage/illustration work for Paramount and 20th Century Fox in the 1930's before moving over to MGM in the 1940's and 1950's. A fine artist whose appreciation seems to be seeing a resurgence over the past few years.

Thanks, MR! It seems to me I've seen his work before, maybe in an opening credit sequence?

Quite possibly. He did a lot of opening title designs, including "Presenting Lily Mars", "Her Cardboard Lover"and many others. He also did illustrations of a film you're probably very familiar with: Salome with Rita Hayworth.

Here are a few more:

Thanks Mongo and Moraldo!

Those are just great! I love the use of rope or yarn for hair...and real fabric for the suits and dresses.

Fantastic photo of Gloria Grahame, one of my all time favorites. Just my opinion, but no matter what role she did, I liked her.
