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...

Oh yes, the pistols-in-the-bra movie.
On the one hand, I can easily imagine someone wanting to see this film for himself. After all, after hearing about it, I wanted very badly to see it--and I did. On the other hand, I honestly can't imagine anyone, once they've seen it, feeling the need to OWN it. It's neither good enough nor awful enough to watch multiple times.

A catastrophic misfire on all levels, Director Elio Petri's The 10th Victim should be shown in film schools across the world as part of a course elective called "Everything That Is Wrong With Italian '60s pop art Cinema".
It isn't interesting, it isn't engaging and it isn't remotely frightening, it isn't Futuristic, it isn't sci-fi, and it isn't a dark comedy.
It was almost thirty years before I actually saw it, and I found it to be, in spite of all those film school reviewers who think it is brilliant, one of the worst and most boring movies ever made.
