The film's photographic campaign, with its close-cropped portrait imagery of Poitier and Steiger, represents one of the most powerful advertising designs of the decade. Lobby card sets from the original release are particularly sought after. The film's five Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor for Steiger placed it at the centre of late-1960s American cinema's engagement with race and justice. International printings, including British quads and French grandes, deployed the same photographic imagery through different national design traditions.
