Panic in the Streets    1950

The portrait of Jack Palance in his first film role

as the ruthless hoodlum Blackie

was taken by the studio’s on-set photographer

during the filming of Elia Kazan’s classic noir.

It was used as one of the press stills to promote the movie

and most notably used as the basis of the artwork

on the exceptional Spanish poster by illustrator Josep Soligo
