An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Japanese "B2" Movie Poster (measures 20" x 28 1/2") (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 this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Condition: good. The poster was glued onto a thin paper backing, but there are creases and ripples scattered throughout the poster (either because it was not glued correctly, or due to something that occurred after it was glued). There were smudges scattered in the green background areas, more so in the bottom of the poster, and also in the top left of the "B" of "BLOW" in the title. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. If I owned this cool poster, I would immediately have it removed from the paper backing and either paperbacked or linenbacked, and after proper backing (either with minor restoration or with more significant restoration to cover the background smudges), the poster will look great!
