Oh, Winnie...







E finalmente ci siamo arrivati. Winnie possiede una vecchia Morris, che tiene nella vecchia rimessa della ditta Pride & Clarke, 158 Stockwell Road, abbastanza vicino alla Battersea Power Station, quella che sembra un tavolino impero rovesciato. La macchina, verdolina, è appoggiata sui tacchi, ed è tenuta in perfetta efficienza. All'interno un apparecchio CB Lafayette abbondantemente modificato, sintonizzato sul canale 40. La stazione Controllo Mago.


An interesting coincidence...

The Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow-Up Filming locations.

The first scene (with the mimes acting) was filmed on the Plaza of The Economist Building (Piccadilly, London, 1959-64, project by Alison and Peter Smithson).

The park scenes were filmed at Maryon Park, Charlton, southeast London, and the park is little changed since the making of the film.

The street with the many maroon-coloured shop fronts is Stockwell Road, and the shops belonged to motorcycle dealer Pride & Clarke .

The scene where Thomas sees the mysterious woman from his car, then proceeds to follow her, was shot in Regent Street, London. He stops at Heddon Street, where the cover shot of David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust LP was later photographed.
