Warner Bros.-Seven Arts’ screen adaptation of Ray/ Bradbury’s “The Illustrated Man,” starring Rod Steiger and / Claire Bloom, is a gripping, imaginative dramatic fable about- - the adventures of three persons, showing what their destiny might be in three future eras. Exciting action is combined with a fascinating commentary on human nature in the Technicolor and Panavision film, directed by Jack Smight and produced by Howard Kreitsek and Ted Mann. GORDEN BAG HOLLYWOOD TATTOO ARTIST Carl, a former carnival roustabout turned hobo, is “The Illustrated Man,” whose entire body has been tatooted by Felicia, a seductive skin illustrator able to foresee events in the far distant future. The exquisitely painted tatoos are so vivid that they come alive to tell their story when the onlooker gazes at them steadily. There is one bare spot on Carl’s back which foretells the future of the person staring at it. At a camp site near a lake on Labor Day, 1933, Carl meets Willie, a young itinerant, who is hypnotized by the older man into staring at the tattoos. As Willie gazes at the tattoos they come alive and vicariously Willie shares experiences with Carl and Felicia in three future centuries. Author Ray Bradbury, described as a modern Aesop, is one of the most popu¬ lar writers in Europe as well as in the United States. His fresh, powerful writing of “The Illustrated Man” and “The Mar¬ tian Chronicles” won him the National Institute of Arts and Letters annual award for his contribution to American Litera¬ ture. Two other Bradbury stories brought to the screen are “Fahrenheit 451” and “Picasso Summer.” His first connection with motion pictures, however, was as the writer of the critically acclaimed screenplay of “Moby Dick,” starring Gregory Peck. In a large, antiseptically clean room a team of nine men in white surgical coats is conferring over a man lying on a long operating table. They give every indica¬ tion of preparing for a major operation. It is a major operation, but surgery is not involved. A closer view reveals the “patient” to be famed actor Rod Steiger and the “chief surgeon” to be Warner Bros.-Seven Arts’ makeup director Gor¬ don Bau, who is about to begin the longest makeup operation in screen his¬ tory. For the next ten hours Bau and his assistants cover Steiger’s torso with many-colored and intricate tattoos for the star’s title role in Ray Bradbury’s “The Illustrated Man.” It takes another entire day to tattoo Steiger’s lower body, hands and legs. Length of the session prevents director Jack Smight and producers Howard Kreit¬ sek and Ted Mann from scheduling any filming on the same day Steiger is made up. In the Technicolor and Panavision production the tattooing is done by a seductive skin illustrator, played by Page 7
