...case, Blow-Up is really fun to watch. The color is vivid and striking, Antonioni having fully indulged his penchant for painting the grass greener, the streets blacker, and everything else off-white or firehouse red. The pretty, self-conscious photography works to dazzling effect, particularly in some exterior long takes of the photographer driving through London in his Rolls...
...ironed out, as far as the experts knew, after arduous testing under every conceivable circumstance.

Award-winning Brazos County Courthouse in Texas, it stands foursquare with the city grid on the exterior, turns curvy inside to encompass a seashell-shaped auditorium. Says William Caudill: "There were 61 people involved with the job and they worked 13¾ man-years."
