All of Gold's posters have had a distinctive style. Each poster gave a film its unique identity, often creating the only lasting impression of a film that many would get.

Together, Bill Gold's poster art represents many of the most important American films since the advent of color photography.

Famous quotes containing the word movie:

—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
