Poster for the Spike Lee film, ‘Mo' Better Blues.’ On the right, Spike Lee appears in front of a stage entrance, wearing a brown hat, glasses, brown pants, and brown houndstooth jacket. He looks at the viewer while bending and offering his right hand. His left hand holds a rolled up edition of the New York Post. Behind him, a brick wall is seen with a poster of three musicians and a trumpet, with the word TONIGHT in white against a black background in the upper left corner. Posters for Spike Lee’s film, ‘Do the Right Thing’ can be seen behind the musicians’ poster. Printed in yellow, upper margin: DENZEL WASHINGTON • SPIKE LEE; in yellow and blue, bottom left: a spike lee joint / mo’ better / blues. The words ‘spike’ and ‘better’ appear inside blue circles, while ‘lee’ and ‘mo’’ appear inside yellow circles. The film credits are listed in light grey at the bottom of the poster. The Spectral Recording/Dolby Studio logo appears on the bottom left, and the Universal logo appears on the bottom right.
