An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Photobusta Movie Poster (pbusta; measures 18 1/4" x 26 1/2" [46 x 67 cm]) (Learn More) Blow-Up (sometimes known as "Blowup" or "Blow Up"), the 1967 Michelangelo Antonioni (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) English/Italian/U.S. crime mystery thriller ("Michelangelo Antonioni's first English language film"; "Antonioni's camera never flinches. At love without meaning. At murder without guilt. At the dazzle and the madness of London today."; "Two fanatical teenagers on David Hemmings in the hope that he will use them as models."; about a successful photographer who feels completely detached from his photographs of violence and pain until he takes a photo of a couple in a park and discovers a possible murder) starring Vanessa Redgrave, David Hemmings, Sarah Miles, John Castle, Jane Birkin (in her second credited movie role!), Gillian Hills, and Veruschka von Lehndorff (billed as "Verushka" in her first film role, the Russian model who is featured on most of the posters from this classic Antonioni film!), and The Yardbirds (including Jimmy Page & Jeff Beck) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that when this movie first came out in 1966, the original poster campaign had a photographic image, but when the movie became a major sensation, new posters were created with a striking image by Ercole Brini. Since the movie was never out of release during that time, the 1967 posters are not generally considered "re-releases", but they ARE from 1967 (although there are no similar posters from 1966, only photographic posters which are extremely rare). Also note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this partially Italian movie! Also note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases. Finally, note that this poster was folded down the middle at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. There is a light diagonal scuff mark at upper left in Redgrave's image and there are minor creases and scuffs scattered throughout the poster as well as some slight discoloration in the white background areas (typical of Italian photobustas). The poster is overall in nice condition and it displays well! Learn More about condition grades
