A successful mod photographer in London is bored with what would now be seen as a ‘celebrity lifestyle’. Whilst photographing a couple embracing in the park, he discovers he may have captured a murder and he blows up his negatives, uncovering details and finally putting the puzzle together.
The film’s sexual content contributed to the change of the Motion Picture Production Code in 1968.
Introduced by Dr Péter Bokody, Lecturer in Art History, Plymouth University.
