MA NOTE

Ursula Andress, voted the greatest Bond Girl ever, sports another iconic bikini, and this time it literally kills! Set in the near future, the film opens with Andress killing her penultimate victim in Â“The Big HuntÂ”, a reality-TV style game show which selects both Â‘HunterÂ’ and Â‘VictimÂ’ from participants; the two then chase one another around the globe: kill your 10th victim and you win millions! AndressÂ’ final victim is the cool, sun-loving Italian Marcello (Mastroianni) who also needs to notch up another kill!

OscarÂ® Winning director Elio PetriÂ’s groundbreaking film heralded generations of films, like Â“RollerballÂ” or SchwarzeneggerÂ’s Â“Running ManÂ”, about gladiatorial-death shows and announced our age of increasingly outrageous reality-TV and the latest fascination with Â“Hunger GamesÂ” dystopia.

Its exquisite Pop-Art visuals, and humorous visual observations have influenced countless films, none more than the Austin Powers sets and costumes. Sourced from HD master restored in the original widescreen film format. This truly seminal cult film is released for the 1st time in UK in this definite Numbered CollectorÂ’s Lenticular Edition.

Citations
Masoch Club Manager: The rules of the Big Hunt are quite easy, yet they are of great importance. The 21st Century... shall be the one that has legalized violence! Rule Number 1: each member is obliged to take ten hunts; five as a Hunter, five as a Victim, alternately. Each pair of Hunter and Victim is chosen electronically by a computer in Geneva. Rule Number 2: the Hunter shall know all about his Victim - name, address... habits, too. Rule Number 3: the Victim shall not be told who his Hunter is. He must find out... and kill him! Rule Number 4: the winner of each separate Hunt will win money. The one who comes out alive after the tenth Hunt... shall be proclaimed decathlete. He shall receive honors... and ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

Funny and Entertaining

In the near future, violence is controlled in societies avoiding wars. Killing is allowed to violent individuals in a game called Big Hunt where the participants are alternatively Hunter or Victim. The winner of each round is awarded with a prize and the survivor after ten rounds, wins one million dollar award (in 1965).

When the American huntress Caroline Meredith (Ursula Andress) completes her ninth round, she comes to Rome to kill her tenth victim. She negotiates with the sponsor Ming Tea Company to kill his victim in front of the cameras. The cynical Marcello Poletti (Marcello Mastroianni) is her target and has just succeeded in his marriage annulment with Lidia (Luce Bonifassy) but has not disclosed to his lover Olga (Elsa Martinelli). Marcello suspects that Caroline is his hunter, but is not sure; further he falls in love with her and he is reluctant to kill her.

"La decima vittima" is a funny and entertaining comedy with a silly but cult story. The sexy Ursula Andress is in the top of her beauty and shows a perfect chemistry with Marcello Mastroianni. In the end, the viewer has 92 minutes of fun. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "A Décima Vítima" (The Tenth Victim")

Note: On 31 January 2023, I saw this film again.
