It is the 21st Century, and society's lust for violence is satisfied by "The Big Hunt," an international game of legalized murder. But when the sport's two top assassins (Marcello Mastroianni and Ursula Andress) are pitted against each other, they find that love is the most dangerous game of all. As the world watches, the hunt is on. Who will become THE 10TH VICTIM?


To judge this film by "today's standards" misses the point–what are we comparing it to? Armageddon? Scream 3? This was the European 60s vision of the 'future'– and why didn't it turn out that way? An odd, cheeky little plot mixing romance, light sci-fi and gunplay is underscored by dazzling visuals in a similar style to The Prisoner series, or Alphaville (if it were in color). Piero Piccioni's score is pure 'Jazz 2001', and is available as an import reissue. Mastroianni is charming and Ursula Andress is at her sexiest, in an array of groovy ensembles. It all depends on what you're after, but personally I wish the WORLD LOOKED like this movie and that men's and women's fashion reflected this film's 'in the future, people will dress like this' style.

This instantly shot to up to one of my new favorite films. It's everything the film SERIES-7 pretended to be, based on the Sheckley novel that pretty much invented the televised human hunting sub-genre. This film has all the irreverence of the a mid-60's, the ornate costumes, set design and absurdist wit. Marcello Mastrioni is hilarious as the bored, easygoing contestant who seems to be waltzing through without a scratch, and Ursula Andress is wonderful as the cold-blooded siren. The film falls off the deep end in the last five minutes, must have been some great LSD on the set that day, but overall this is a must see for any true cinephile.
