Blowup is a 1966 British-Italian film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, his first English-language film. It tells of a photographer's accidental involvement with a murder, inspired by Julio Cortázar's 1959 short story, "Las babas del diablo" or "The Devil's Drool", and by the life of Swinging London photographer David Bailey. The film was scored by jazz pianist Herbie Hancock, although the music is source music, as Hancock noted: "It's only there when someone turns on the radio or puts on a record.
