"Blow-Up" (1966)

Just watched this British film "Blow-Up" from 1966. There's a club scene where the band playing is The Yardbirds, from when both Page and Beck were in the band. They're playing "Train Kept a Rolling". Beck's amp gets a short and he winds up destroying his guitar. The movie is worth watching just for that.



The more I sit and think about the movie - reading reviews, and such - the more I think what a great film it was. I had read that the plot was similar to "Blow Out" and was expecting things to play out the same way. However, this is one of them there "deep" movies. I'd watch it again, now that I know what it's really about. And to see the Yardbirds scene again.
