David Hemmings

FASHIONSTATE.COM'S FOCUS ON
DAVID HEMMINGS - STAR QUALITY

A collection of photos
from some of his best-known performances.

"Live It Up!" (1963)

Pity Dave Martin (David Hemmings), a lad in Moddy Olde England with a yen to play that rock 'n' roll music. This, of course, makes him anti-establishment. You can tell because his tie is slightly askew!

Despite his yearnings for fame to take him out of the humdrum so prevalent in working-class early 1960s England, Dave maintains his true-blue status to his hometown girl (Jennifer Moss).

Dave plays "Let's Make A Deal" with his strict but at times sympathetic father (Ed Devereaux).

Dave and his band, the Smart Alecs - featuring Tornados bassist Heinz Burt and Humble Pie / Small Faces guitarist Steven Marriott!

"Blow-Up" (1966)

David Hemmings as Thomas, the callous and bored fashion photographer looking for more in-depth subjects than models...and gets what he wishes for.

Not even sexy Russian supermodel Verushka can dispel Thomas' perpetual ennui.

Thomas' troubles grow bigger as he blows up his photos to examine whether he's taken pictures of something he shouldn't have.

"Eye of the Devil" (1967)
(aka "13")

David Hemmings is Christian de Caray, a wicked lad with deadly aim who enjoys the admiration of his adoring witch of a sister, Odile. (She is portrayed by Sharon Tate, another favorite actor at FashionState.Com!)

Catherine de Montfauçon (Deborah Kerr) is bewildered and offended by Christian's and Odile's interest in her innocent children (Suky Appleby & Robert Duncan).

Christian doesn't just shoot doves for sport - they are part of a sacrificial rite he and Odile perform for Bellenac's sinister priest, Pere Dominic (Donald Pleasence, l.).

"Camelot" (1967)

King Arthur's idyllic kingdom is threatened by the spiteful and evil machinations of his bastard son, Mordred (David Hemmings).

Sir Lancelot (Franco Nero) puts a damper on Mordred's dreams of usurping the throne of Camelot from King Arthur.

"The Long Day's Dying" (1968)

John (David Hemmings) loves his country but loathes war - and finds himself and his mates trapped behind enemy lines in this harrowing World War II film.

"Barbarella" (1968)

Barbarella (Jane Fonda) encounters revolutionary and scientist Dildano (David Hemmings)...and it doesn't take them long to start discussing the main underlying topic in this cult sex farce!

"The password is going to be..." (No, it's not obscene, it's a Welsh town with a fifty-letter name!)

"Alfred the Great" (1969)

David Hemmings played the title role in this biographical tale of the last of England's great Saxon kings.

"The Walking Stick" (1970)

Leigh Hartley (David Hemmings) on the surface appears to be simply a handsome, appealing artist...

...but Deborah (Samantha Eggar) discovers he's using her in hopes of pulling off a crime.

"Unman, Wittering and Zigo" (1971)

Schoolteacher John Ebony wonders in fear if his pupils will kill him as they did their last teacher.

"The Love Machine" (1971)

Photographer Jerry Nelson (David Hemmings) is a friend to the ladies but desires ice-cold "Love Machine" Robin Stone, who is a man with some serious baggage!

"Deep Red" (1975)
(aka "Profondo Rosso")

In this cult slasher horror movie, David Hemmings plays Marcus Daly, a man who is being stalked by a (naturally) psycho killer!

"Last Orders" (2001)

Lenny (David Hemmings) is a washed-up boxer mourning with his mates over the death of an old drinking buddy.

An unsteady Lenny is flanked by Vic (Tom Courtenay) and Raysie (Bob Hoskins) - it's harder than any of them knew to say good-bye to their dead friend.
