10th Victim

I honestly don`t know if the other reviewers saw the same film I did, but I have owned the original, Anchor Bay release for years, and haven`t seen the re-release - maybe something was cut, maybe the previous reviewers don`t get 60`s Euro-cult films like "Danger Diabolik", "Fathom", "I`ll Never Forget What`s Isname", "Modesty Blaise" or, for that matter, "Our Man Flint/In Like Flint", or "Deadlier than The Male". With the international sucess of the Bond films, there weren`t enough films of this type to satisfy audience hunger, hence all of the above, and although are flawed (as are the bond films), these flicks filled the void rather nicely. This one in particular, for it`s Madison Avenue corporate tie-ins to everything from arena sports endorsements to Rock concert sponsorships that are now a permanent part of our lives, it`s actually spot-on in it`s comedic absurdity and a harbinger of all things to come. And we`re only a step away from televised executions in one form or another... Both Marcello Mastroianni and Ursula Andress are superb in their roles, especially Mastroianni in his world-weary approach to his lifestyle and profession, and the subtle humor and ironies are abundant everywhere in this film. Elsa Martinelli is hysterical as well as adorable, so if you think the "Austin Powers" franchise is good (if you`re under 40), and like any of the 60`s flix I referenced above(if you`re slightly older), do yourself a favor and get this film. I`ve seen it 3 times, and still find humor in it. O those fab 60`s...

Nice example of 60's film style. Futuristic setting with morality tale of dubious impact. Ursula is appropriately clothed and therefore visually stunning. Marcello has good contrasting role to some of his Fellini characters.

This movie has a great story line, but appears to be low budget.However, it is way ahead of its time. It deals with life in the future where there are no more wars, but because people are still violent they are allowed to join a game where participants are allowed to kill each other for sport and money. The story is reminiscent of movies like Death Race 2000 and Running Man. Ursula Andress is great in this movie. Her character is beautiful and genuine. It makes it easy to overlook some of the films shortcomings with Ursula Andress in the movie. This movie should be remade, its great!
