Dead Reckoning (1955r)

This poster for Dead Reckoning reflects the height of late-1940s film noir, defined by moral ambiguity and postwar unease. Featuring Humphrey Bogart in a quintessential noir role, it reinforces his enduring image as the cynical, hard-boiled antihero central to the genre’s legacy.

The design contrasts a brooding portrait of Bogart with the glamorous presence of Lizabeth Scott, using bold red and black tones to suggest danger and romance. Created in a classic Columbia Pictures studio style, the poster emphasizes star power and mood over action, with the artist remaining uncredited, as was common at the time.
