|---|
Directed in 1965 by italian director Elio Petri, THE 10TH VICTIM is adapted from a short novel of Robert Sheckley.
In a near future, in order to prevent wars, the game of "The Big Hunting" is played by a growing number of people. A computer chooses two names - the Hunter and the Hunted - who must fight until the death of one of them. If someone survives 10 fights, he gets a reward of 1 million dollars. The american Ursula Andress has been chosen to hunt the italian Marcello Mastroianni.
Satire and science-fiction. A curiosity.
--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
