Thanks for mentioning that film, Wardaddy and for giving a rough estimate time reference for the beginning of Vanessa Redgrave's insanity.

"Blowup" was released in 1966, and according to the boards at IMDb, the Yardbirds featuring Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, have a cameo appearance in this.

Other than the discussion of Jimmy Page singing and playing a Telecaster in the movie, a few comments are worthwhile reading: "God Awful Movie," "Austin Powers without the laughs" and one comment claims that this movie greatly influenced Francis and Sofia Coppola.

Blow Up was a bit of a sensational flick at the time with some nudity (Vanessa) and the rock angle....had a tiny cult following.

All about a murder in Hyde Park picked up by accident on film...more or less.

Veraushka and Sarah Miles ( and loads of MOD models) both were in it too....wow, I was a kid...I just thought it was weird with good music and some salaciousness (for the time)

Veraushka lounging..lol
