Kino Lorber - Danger: Diabolik

The suave, psychedelic-era thief called Diabolik (John Phillip Law, Barbarella, Death Rides a Horse) can't get enough of life's good or glittery things. Not when there are currency shipments to steal from under the noses of snooty government officials. And priceless jewels to lift from the boudoirs of the super-rich. The elusive scoundrel finds plenty of ways to live up to his name in this tongue-in-cheek, live-action caper inspired by Europe's popular Diabolik comics. He clambers up walls, zaps a press conference with Exhilaration Gas, smacks a confession out of a crime lord while freefalling with him from an airplane, and pulls off the heist of a twenty-ton gold ingot. Impossible? No, diabolical Danger: Diabolik, to be exact! And it's slickly produced by the legendary Dino de Laurentiis (Orca, King Kong), directed by the Godfather of Cult Cinema, Mario Bava (Planet of the Vampires), features a super-swinging score by the maestro Ennio Morricone (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly), co-starring Marisa Mell (Masquerade), Michel Piccoli (Max and the Junkmen), Terry-Thomas (The Green Man) and Adolfo Celi (Largo of Thunderball).
