"As Kallis later recalled:
"I told Roger, 'I'm doing very classy stuff with Saul Bass for the best studios.' Roger said, 'What would it take to get you?' I said, 'If, after we had general conversations about the approach to the picture, you'd leave all the decisions to me, I might be interested–and I'll give you a fixed price.' That appealed to Roger greatly!"
It was the break Kallis needed. He was free to do what he wanted, how he wanted. Over the next decade Kaliis produced a series of kick-ass posters which were bright, bold, dynamic and original. His work was so good that there was an axiom that Kallis' artworks were often more thrilling, more exciting, more intense than the films Corman made.
Kallis was also smart enough to take some of his hard-earned cash and invest in setting up the restaurant chain the International House of Pancakes." - "They Came to a Cinema Near You!: Attack of the B-Movie Posters" from flashbak.com
