Spotlight on Frank McCarthy



When I was a kid, I would walk through a movie theater lobby to study the posters.  I remember being mesmerized by the artwork featured on the poster for Valley of Gwangi (1969).  The artist, Frank McCarthy, also created epic posters for The Ten Commandments (1956), A Distant Trumpet (1964), Thunderball (1965), The Venetian Affair (1966), Around the World Under the Sea (1966) and The Green Berets (1968).  Filmmakers could never make films as exciting as McCarthy's artwork.
