THE BOY FRIEND - Anonymous
Ken Russell and Twiggy in a recording studio for their single “Any Old Iron” for the film *The Boy Friend*, 1972
Vintage silver gelatin print
24 x 15.8 cm
Note: This on-set photograph shows director Ken Russell alongside Twiggy during a recording session for the song “Any Old Iron,” performed for the film *The Boy Friend* (1971, released in 1972). With headphones on and standing in front of a studio microphone, the two artists are captured in a moment of work rather than in a glamorous staged shot. The image offers a behind-the-scenes look at the film’s musical production and highlights the importance Ken Russell placed on the song-and-dance numbers in this adaptation of the famous musical. Through this vintage photograph, the entire creative atmosphere of the recording studios in the early 1970s is brought to life, offering a rare glimpse into the collaboration between the British director and Twiggy, who was then at the height of her modeling career and had transitioned to acting.
