What's left behind the scenes

  • This is the first English-language film to fully depict female nudity.
  • In order to bypass censorship restrictions and release the film, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer created a shell company, Premiere Productions, which was not subject to censorship. As a result, the film was released uncut, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer retained all rights to it.
  • Julio Cortázar can be seen in one of the photographs of homeless men taken by Thomas.
  • The Rolls-Royce that Thomas drives in the film belonged to English actor Jimmy Savile and was repainted from white to black for filming.
  • Antonioni was dissatisfied with the shade of green of the grass in Marion Park and ordered it to be repainted with green paint.
  • The famous propeller from the film was located in a restaurant of the same name in St. Petersburg on the Griboyedov Canal, opposite the Kazan Cathedral, for some time in the early 2000s.
  • A reference to the film can also be seen in Tim Burton's 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' (2005), in the scene where two gay men walk poodles before Charlie finds the money.
  • One scene in the film shows a fragment of a 'The Yardbirds' concert in which Jeff Beck breaks his guitar. This performance dates back to that brief period in the band's history when Beck and Jimmy Page played together – Beck left the band a few months after this performance. Initially, 'The Who' were contenders to replace 'The Yardbirds'.
  • The film is based on the short story 'Blow-Up' by Julio Cortázar.
  • To bypass censorship restrictions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer created a shell company, Premiere Productions, which was not subject to censorship restrictions. As a result, the film was released uncut, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer retained the rights to it.
