Blow-Up (1966) (Movie)

format_quote Thomas: What do you they call you in bed?

stars  Reportedly the first British feature film to show full frontal female nudity.

stars  Antonioni's first English language film.

stars  As a way of bypassing the Production Code (i.e. censors), MGM created "Premiere Productions". This was a dummy company which had no agreement or affiliation with the Production Code and, therefore, did not have to adhere to its standards. MGM did not have to cut the full frontal nudity or other sexually explicit scenes and maintained all rights to the film.

stars  Loosely based on the careers of Swinging London's ace fashion photographers David Bailey and Terence Donovan.

stars  The film contains a rare performance of The Yardbirds during the period when Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck were both in the band. Jeff Beck would leave a few months later.
