"In Harm's Way" Poster by Saul Bass

Recently, I acquired this poster for the movie In Harm's Way by Otto Preminger from 1962.

 

I didn't acquire it only because it was designed by Saul Bass, rather, despite it being a story about U.S. Navy officers in 1941 in the Pacific Ocean, I find something very ominous about this image. Maybe because of professional deformation, I associate this image with something else.
