David was my Dad’s mate. He took me to Battersea funfair and painted a picture of the London docks from my Dad’s office that I still have to this day. His girlfriend was the actress Jane Merrow and she was gorgeous. David affected and influenced my concept of “cool” for the rest of my life....RIP David.

A really great little interview. My introduction to Hemmings was a little different to most, as a fervent disciple of Dario Argento, I first discovered him through his fantastic performance in Deep Red, (as opposed to Blow Up, which is what most seem to know him best for) he played Marcus Daly brilliantly, and made him a very compelling and likeable protagonist. I have not seen a single film he has been in where he hasn’t captured my attention totally and completely. And what a voice he had! Eloquent and thoughtful does not do it justice! A brilliant actor, the likes of which are rare, he is much missed. Rest In Peace.

This could only get worse. My tongue felt like an affectionate kitten that had fallen into a deep sleep, not to be disturbed, in my mouth. I was also - and here's the good bit - hanging over a vicious set of spearhead railings sixty feet below while large drips of soda water splashed on to me from the orang-utan's neck. The orang-utan was Reed, and he was holding me by my ankles, dangling me from a sixth-floor window of the Grand Hotel, Torquay, while being liberally sprayed with a soda siphon by a drunk and giggling Andrew Ray - all for a bet, for God's sake - and I prayed he wouldn't drop me. 'How do you like this, boy?' Ollie growled like a bear, and another squirt from Andrew's siphon dribbled off his chin on to my naked arse. 'Wanna come up, boy?' Oliver had a grin that split his face like an early muppet, but with less of the charm. Miraculously, I was heaved back in, wet with soda and sweat, and handed a drink, which I'd never needed more."

Antonioni first of all wined and dined actor Terence Stamp and formally offered him the role, Terence Stamp said yes please and thought he was going to be doing the film, he didn't hear back from Antonioni or his producers for a while but just thought that was the norm for the film business, Stamp was an actor of considerable stature at the time, but as time passed he then he learned that David Hemmings was cast in the role through a public press release in the newspapers, Antonioni nor the film company never bothered to get back to Terence Stamp to let him know they had changed their minds. That is a true story that Stamp told during an interview with Mark Cousins and he sounded mighty pissed off as he recalled the experience.

Cloud-gazing. Do I see a whale in the drifting cloud, while another sees a bowl of pudding in the same? In either case, it is only a cloud and it is we who impose meaning and ascribe value on the meaninglessness of the drifting cloud. While some elements of Blow-Up are noteworthy; cinematography, sets, and costumes, While it is.a perfect representation of post-modernism, I feel it falls far short of a cinematic masterpiece. Experimental, yes, but many experiments fail. And this contrived story used to link together unbelievable characters, with inconsistent motivations, requires us to overlay meaning for there to be any. It requires us to imagine value where there is little.

@@michaelclark5732 Awesome story, thanks for the link! Reminds me of an old joke about Egyptian engineers supervising the transport of stone blocks to the construction site of future tombs. They look at the chaos among the hundreds of workers moving gigantic blocks in all directions and trying to arrange them in layers. Finally one of the engineers says: "Ok, here's the plan. Let's put for now all this stone together into these makeshift piles and we will figure out how to use it later." :-)
