I'm sorry Grey, NO, Heritage did not sell this poster with a description of 
Reynold Brown art
this auction did
http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=3164378

and clearly it doesn't make  a differentiation between the Brown art & the 
Kallis art, if he knows

but it's something helps the hobby when there is more clarity on the issue. As 
noted in my original post, many posters for various titles are incorrectly 
identified in this way. Not just this one poster. It's a common mistake that 
people think Brown did all the CFTBL posters, when to any person understanding 
his art it becomes obvious he did elements on some and not others.

Saul Bass of course is a completely different issue, not because there is a 
list in a book, but because many imitators are incorrectly identified and I 
have done so myself on titles such as Nine Hours to Rama and West Side Story

as a side note, it is interesting trivia to know that in one case, both Reynold 
Brown and Saul Bass art can be seen on one poster, which is unique - the 
Spartacus roadshow poster with the Saul Bass portraits on Roman Dinars and the 
Saul Bass illustration near the bottom

I'm confused, Rich.
Did we misdescribe as you post a link to Heritage?
The description didn't say anything about who executed the design and work.
Frankly, wasn't even aware Brown did artwork on that campaign!

quite frequently movie poster artists are completely misidentified on movie 
posters
some of the most common examples are of course Saul Bass and Reynold Brown

sometimes it isn't a completely incorrect identification, but it can be 
misleading

one such poster is World Without End

a copy was just sold on one site identified as Reynold Brown art. The only 
thing is, while Brown did do some art that appears on this poster, which is the 
inset image at top, the main body of the art is by Albert Kallis. So while 
saying there is Reynold Brown art on the poster, by not differentiating the 
reality of two artists, it puts forth an idea that Brown did the whole poster, 
and this is just not so.

Generally speaking, for most of the 1950s horror-sf posters where there are 
multiple designs utilizing different art, the art is by more than one artist.

A grea example of this is Creature From the Black Lagoon. Brown's art is used 
on the 3sheet and the half sheet, it is not his work on the 1sh (I believe that 
may be Kallis also)

I understand another fact, that most dealers are not art experts and that 
because I have spent 30 years selling comic art & illustration as well as 
studying art for decades, I have a leg up.. But it helps the hobby when the 
information is complete.
