Yes, Blow Up is a great film with a musical score by jazzman Herbie Hancock, his first I do believe. It's curious video history is that it appeared on an early Criterion laserdisc that is letterboxed but off to one side. It was never re-released on LD and has not yet to my knowlege been issued on DVD. I alwways loved the fact that the Hemmings character had an early version of a car 'phone.I also love the heart of the film, the "blow up" cycle of the title. This theme was of course revisited in Coppola's "The Conversation" and then the two were sort of combined in DePalma's "Blow Out".
