Pictured is a 26" x 37" Polish "B1" poster designed by Waldemar Swierzy
for a 1987 rerelease of the 1966 Michelangelo Antonioni
film Blow-up based on a story by Michelangelo Antonioni, the
short story "Las babas del diablo" by Julio Cortazar, screenplay by
Michelangelo Antonioni and Tonino Guerra and starring Vanessa Redgrave
as Jane and David Hemmings as Thomas. According to Wikipedia, this
film's deliberate defiance of the Production Code with explicit sexual
content was one of the events that led in 1968 to the abandonment of
the code in favor of the MPAA film rating system. The character of
the film's photographer Thomas is inspired by the life of London
photographer David Bailey. The film also includes footage of Jimmy
Page and Jeff Beck performing with the Yardbirds. Plot summary:
Thomas is a London fashion photographer who believes he has
unwittingly photographed a murder while photographing two lovers in
Maryon Park without their permission.
