Poster produced from the film 'Gumnaam' (trans. Unknown or Anonymous) released in the year 1965. Directed by Raja Nawathe, and starring Manoj Kumar, Nanda, Pran, Mehmood (mentioned at the top end of the poster) and Helen. A box office hit, this film was based on the book 'And Then There Were None' by Agatha Christie. This poster features Mehmood in the foreground on the left side, with a tea tray and spring in his step — he plays a butler in the film. On the right side, we see the faces of young leads Manoj Kumar and Nanda, while on the left background is the recurring image of the legs of an unknown assailant welding a knife (seen in other posters and marketing material for the film as well).
