THE 10TH VICTIM
Special Features: 60th Anniversary
[LA DECIMA VITTIMA]
It is the 21st century, and society’s lust for violence is satisfied by “The Big Hunt,” an international game of legalized murder. Players are selected at random by a computer, and it is up to the “Hunter” to get his “Victim” and kill him — no matter what. The divine Caroline Meredith (Ursula Andress) — doing in her last victim at a New York nightclub with a cleverly concealed pair of pistols in her bra — and the dashing Marcello Polletti (Marcello Mastroianni) — doing in his last victim, a rider in a horse show, by attaching sticks of dynamite to his spurs — have been matched against each other by the computer. These adversaries are to confront one another before the world’s television cameras in the arena of the Colosseum for the kill of the century…but they find that love is the most dangerous game of all! Directed by Elio Petri (INVESTIGATION OF A CITIZEN ABOVE SUSPICION) and co-starring Elsa Martinelli (HATARI!), THE 10TH VICTIM is a murderously groovy ‘60s cult classic whose wild action and sexy style has influenced a generation of movies, from THE RUNNING MAN to AUSTIN POWERS.
