Skadinavian Edition, PAL/Region 2 Blu-Ray 1080p High Definition Widescreen DTS-HD Master Audio: Subtitles: Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, German, Dutch, Spanish, Greek. Audio: English, French, Spanish, German. A temptingly tasetful comedyifor adults who can count.
On a laughter scale, Blake Edwards' "10", a spicy comedy of manners, morals, and midlife crises, hits the top. It's a film of many moods, sometimes sexy, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes slapstick - but always on target. That target is forty two year old composer, George Webber (Dudley Moore), a man who has everything - and who may just chuck it all in an obsessive quest for a beautiful woman (Bo Derek) he glimpses en route to her wedding.

It's all too easy to look at the bottom line when thinking about Blake Edwards' '10' and to over-simplify it. Yes it is a film about mid-life crisis. Yes it does feature Dudley Moore and yes it did catapault Bo Derek to international stardom. However, what this over-simplification misses is the sheer delight this film gives if you give in to the 70s kitsch which oozes out of every frame.
From 8-track tapes to 70s swingers music, this film has a rich flavour.
Perhaps more importantly, '10' is a film about performances. Dudley Moore sat at a piano in a mexican hotel bar playing "It's Easy to Say" is mesmerizing. The fact that this was filmed live in one-take and that the tune was written by Henri Mancini should be enough to explain the quality of this film. Put Blake Edwards, Dudley Moore, a Henry Mancini tune and a piano together and you can't help but create magic.
Blake Edwards' gift is to create movies where the audience forget they are watching a movie. He relies on performance rather than cinematic trickery and the result, in the case of '10', is perhaps one of the most beautifully relaxed and easy films to watch ever created.
A pure classic to watch again and again.
See, I didn't even talk about the stunning Bo Derek...

Dudley moore is his usual funny self in this comedy about a songwriter / musician who is facing a mid life crisis.
Memorable moments include the telescope on his patio when it hits him and he falls down the bank. Seeing him try to get up again is a real belly laugh. Also Bo Derek in her classic scene running along the beach in slo mo. Dudley burning his feet on the sand is brilliant.
A haunting tune played by dudley in the bar "It's easy to say" is a superb piece of music brilliantly played by Moore.
I searched high and low for this piece of music and eventually found it in a Henry Mancini song book.
It's a fantastic piece to play on the piano.
All in all if you want to put your feet up on a wet sunday afternoon and have a laugh, get this and watch it.

A Classic?
I happen to like the film endeavours of this British comedian. To some, Bo Derek looks attractive? [My dear wife buys DVDs where Mr Depp stars].

Rauncy sex comedy with uneven and ridiculous plot
Blake Edwards' 10, proved to be a surprise at the box office, at a time when he lost his main star the gifted comic Peter Sellars who had dominated his entire set of Pink Panther... Read more

Middle-aged crisis for Dudley Moore
Bo Derek became famous, and sales of Ravel's Bolero hit the roof when Blake Edwards' semi-biographical comedy of life made it to the screen. Read more
