Product Description:

Amazon.com essential video:
One of the best comedies of the 1970s, Blake Edwards's ode to midlife crisis and the hazards of infidelity now plays like a valentine to that self-indulgent decade, and it's still as funny as it ever was. In the signature role of his career (along with 'Arthur'), Dudley Moore plays a songwriter with a severe case of marital restlessness, and all it takes is a chance encounter with Bo Derek (in her screen debut) to jump-start his libido. Julie Andrews plays Moore's wife, who will only tolerate so much of her husband's desperate need to reaffirm his sexual vitality, while Moore pursues Derek to a tropical rendezvous. The action builds to the now-famous bedroom scene that sent everyone rushing to the music store for their own copy of Ravel's Boléro. Talk about a classical climax! --Jeff Shannon

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 10
Blake Edward's "10" is, by far, one of the funniest movies ever made. Like the best comedies, it takes common human emotions (undeniable longing and the fear of getting older in this case) and uses them as a springboard for a series of manically hilarious comedic setups.

At the core of the story is a brilliant performance by Dudley Moore whose George Webber epitomizes the deepest desires of the human condition. The audience is with him every step of the way even after he boards a flight to Mexico to follow his unbridled infatuation with a beautiful young woman he spied while waiting in afternoon traffic. This tremendous insight and attention to detail adds layers of subtlety to the entire production and in turn, the ensuing comedy is even funnier.

Also vital to the film's success is the casting of the two female leads. Bo Derek as Jenny Miles, a.k.a. the "perfect ten" of the picture and ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Dudley Moore is the real "10"!!!
This film is really enjoyable. Not only because of Bo Derek, but in spite of her, Dudley Moore is the real "10". His comedic talent and that of Julie Andrews sparkle like diamonds in the ruff!

But the real gem of this film is when as George Webber, Moore says into his recorder, "This is the new one, Hugh!" And then Moore sits down at the grand piano in the hotel lounge, near the bar and plays this fantastic musical inspiration of love and yearning--because of his desire for Ms. Derek. The look on Brian Denehy's face and especially
Dee Wallace's face are priceless. This musical "shot" sent shivers down my spine. It's an experience I will never forget, as sadly it was Moore's only "film shot" of his
musical talent in playing Mancini's score--that was the highlight of this
great film. A perfect end to the free-wheeling 70's!!!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brought back memory
I first watched this movie when I was 13 back in the late 80s on TV. It was one weekend afternoon, and I started flipping the channels and saw the scene where Bo was running through the beach. It was kind of confusing watching from the middle, but I still found it very "exciting", although I didn't completely understand many of the humors it contained back then. And now watching it again in its entirety, I feel those heart pumping and pants tightening feelings rushing back again. A definite classic to be treasured.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - YES, WE HAVE NO BONANZA
Renowned composer George Webber (Moore) is in the midst of a mid-life crisis and long time girlfriend (Andrews) is bearing the full brunt of it.Intellectually, Moore has few problems with his mistress:he's simply in desperate need of adolescent sex.Enter a twenty minute bombardment of some of the funniest sight and sound gags ever filmed: none of which appeases our male hero.So, it's off to Mexico to track down the prettiest girl he's ever seen, despite her being on her honeymoon. His fantasy comes to fruition, after Moore saves Bo Derek's husband from drowning.Given his chance, Webber realizes quickly that Derek's having sex is little more than George scribbling a few notes on a music scale. So, the search was all for naught after all, and Webber returns home to a forgiving Andrews. It's a good movie, but it seems to lack balance. After a rollicking start, the film has few funny scenes thereafter. ... Read More
