Danger Diabolik
Just had the absolute pleasure of watching Danger Diabolik. It is a 1967 film, directed by the Italian director Mario Bava, starring the Italian comic antihero Diabolik. John Phillip Law is the lead, and the delectable Marisa Mell is his girlfriend. Enrico Morricone does the tremendously innovative score (using sithars!).
Some might say that it was campy but I prefer to think that it was honest to the comic book. Thoroughly enjoyable popcorn fare.
