This takes place in the 21st century where a violent "hunting sport" has replaced war and violence in the world. An incredibly sexy veteran hunter named Caroline Meredith (Ursula Andress) agrees to hunt and kill another "victim" on live TV so she can get a huge amount of money.
Her prey is Marcello Poletti ( Marcello Masteroianni). A man who owes so much to his 8 ex wives he is always broke and having his winnings from killing people confiscated by the government.
Caroline and Marcello play a cat and mouse game with each other thru the entire film until the ending which pulls out two switches which the viewer will either see coming or not.
There are some fantastic set pieces in this film, such as Andress and her unltra sexy dance at the beginning of the film in which she makes her 9th kill. Her victim is mesmerized by her dance, and you have to ask yourself, who wouldn't be.
The weird fashions and cars are all odd looking but it's used to give the film a futuristic look. There is no doubt that Andress steals the show and it the main reason for watching the movie.
When watching you can see how dystopian the filmmakers made the future, but it really isn't far from what we have in real life today. Best line in the movie...."why control births when you can increase deaths?"
I really enjoyed this film and you might as well. Hell, watch it for Andress!! My God they just don't make women like this today.
