the illustrated man (1969)


"and on that sign it said skin illustrations."
Depression era American and a young man (Robert Drivas) meets up with a hobo (Rod Steiger), who is covered head to toe in 'skin illustrations'. The hobo says he is looking for a certain house, and the woman (Claire Bloom) who tattoo'd him. Whilst they sit round the camp fire the hobo tells of how he got the illustrations and some of the stories behind them.
A portmanteau piece linking three of Ray Bradbury's visions of the future.
