"Blow-Up", the 1966 iconic film.

These 3 posters are the most most iconic made to advertise the movie. They feature David Hemmings straddling super-model Veruschka at the climactic moment of an orgasmic photo shoot.

This image has become the movie’s money shot, and has been endlessly parodied since.

This particular image is also the most sought after of any design as well as being a partial 'country-of-origin' poster from this anglo-italian production. They were printed in three colours for display as a triptych in larger venues as a nod to the dark room production processes that were central to the film plot. The red version was also printed for widespread distribution but the yellow and green were only produced in very, very small numbers and, because they were pasted into position when displayed, almost all were destroyed when used.
