2nd Amendment & Ursula Andress

La decima vittima

What? I gotta say something about this? I don't think so.

You insist? Okay then; science-wise it's the Usuline prototype of the Wonder Bra, or, in Italiano, the Chiedo Reggiseno -- though one must admit the Germans say it best: Wunder Bustenhalter.


Before reality tv there was The 10th Victim, giving, according to PopMatters,
. . . known international icons Marcello Mastroianni and Ursula Andress safe haven to look and act fabulous. She, decked out in the latest Milan couture, he, sporting a bad blond dye job and ever-present shades, play a prickly game of cat and mouse set against the most modern - at least for 1965 - of ultra-chic urban backdrops.
Andress’ Caroline Meredith is the latest “winner” of The Big Hunt, a worldwide television phenomenon which sees participants act as “assassin” and “victim” alternately, each pursuit played out for points, profit, and a chance at retiring a decathlete (one who successfully completes 10 missions). She is only one victory away from earning said title - and the $1 million prize that goes with it.
Youngish and impressionable, I first saw this movie on tv in black and white in the early 70's, over at Joe's house. Carol and the kids weren't around. This nightclubby scene stayed with me.
Subtitles unnecessary.
