Blow Out

Brian De Palma (director, screenwriter)
John Travolta, Nancy Allen, John Lithgow (starring)

Culver City, CA: Columbia Pictures / Filmways, 1981. Two vintage studio still photographs from the 1981 film, both showing actor John Travolta.

Based on Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film "Blow Up," with an audio recording replacing a photograph, early 1980s Philadelphia replacing Swinging London, and a tight political thriller plot replacing the looser and less immediate one in the original.

Shot on location in Philadelphia.

8 x 10 inches. Fine.
