TAGLINE : "Don't dare to stare at the illustrated man" - In 1930s, a psychotic drifter who's after the mystery woman who covered his whole body in illustrations that foresee distant future shows three of them (The Veldt, The Long Rain and The Last Night of the World) to a mesmerized traveler. The Illustrated Man is classic Bradbury, a collection of eighteen startling visions of humankind's destiny, unfolding across a canvas of decorated skin, visions as keen as the tattooist's needle and as colorful as the inks that indelibly stain the body. The images, ideas, sounds and scents that abound in this phantasmagoric sideshow are provocative and powerful: the mournful cries of celestial travelers cast out cruelly into a vast space of stars and blackness, the sight of gray dust settling over a forgotten outpost on a road that leads nowhere, the pungent odor of Jupiter on a returning father's clothing. Here living cities take their vengeance, technology awakens the most primal natural instincts, Martian invasions are foiled by the good life and the glad hand, and dreams are carried aloft in junkyard rockets. CAST includes Rod Steiger, Claire Bloom, Robert Drivas, Jason Evers, Don Dubbins. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : According to the Guinness Book of World Records, this film has the record for longest time applying make-up each day, at 20 hours. Make-up director Gordon Bau and a team of eight assistants spent ten hours applying the temporary tattoos to Rod Steiger's torso, plus another full day tattooing his hands, legs and lower body. When Jack Smight contacted Ray Bradbury about buying the rights to "The Illustrated Man", Bradbury informed him he would sell it if Smight hired Burt Lancaster, Paul Newman or Rod Steiger for the lead role. Kirk Douglas was keen to play the lead role. He had also previously owned the rights to Ray Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes" and "The Martian Chronicles". Claire Bloom and Rod Steiger were married at the time this movie was filmed. They were divorced the same year the film was released, 1969.
