The longing in its absolute final stage. This is what Blake Edwards 10 is about. 10 is about the desire of a man who is no longer young for a woman he cannot have. This woman is so desirable that she gets a smooth 11 on a scale of 1-10. Is it helpful that the man himself is small, already 42 years old and full of unsolved problems? Wait; George Webber (Dudley Moore) actually has everything a man could wish for: He is a successful composer, he drives a Rolls, lives in a beautiful house in the mountains. And his wife is Julie Andrews (= Samantha Taylor). He even has cable TV! But when George drives with his Rolls Royce to Santa Monica... At the red light in the car next door, he sees a supernaturally beautiful woman who turns to him for a moment. But only very briefly. The woman is wearing a wedding dress. George is helplessly in love. He follows her into the church for the wedding ceremony, is stung in the nose by a bee. Then he visits her father, a famous dentist. George gets six fillings. He numbs himself with painkillers and brandy, finds himself aboard an airplane to Mexico. In the same department as his dream woman. There she spends her honeymoon with a guy who looks like Barbie's friend Ken. Summarized: George Webber has to endure inhuman physical torments. The humor of 10 works by triggering longings that we all know well. I would say; released for men over 35. The central question: Can George ever get this girl? 10 is much more than just a comedy. It's a study of the craziness of human life. The girl who gets the eleven points is embodied by Bo Derek. We remember 10 founded her ten minutes of fame in Hollywood, especially through an accidental sex scene to Ravel's Bolero. 10 was a turning point for Blake Edwards. It was the first wistful sex comedy for adults after the exuberant 60s.
