The 10th Victim (1965)

- La decima vittima
Worth a look, 4 April 2005

In the future, murder is legal – as long as you follow the rules. Killers and victims compete against one another for cash prizes. Once you have survived being either a killer or victim ten times, you win $1 million. The trouble arises when the pair fall in love.

Marcello Mastroianni and Ursila Andress star as a killer and victim pitted against one another. I've never thought much of Andress as an actress and this movie does nothing to change that opinion.

The most memorable scene is the first kill of the movie. An unknown killer chases Andress into some sort of nightclub/restaurant. When he enters, he doesn't recognize her because she is performing in a costume with a different hair color. As she dances in front of the killer, she lets loose with the machine gun bikini top. As Austin Powers would say, Machine Gun Jomblies.
