Danger: Diabolik (Digital Restoration)

The suave, psychedelic-era thief called Diabolik (John Phillip Law, Barbarella) 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, directed by the Godfather of Cult Cinema, Mario Bava, features a super-swinging score by the maestro Ennio Morricone, co-starring Marisa Mell (MASQUERADE), Michel Piccoli (MAX AND THE JUNKMEN), Terry-Thomas (THE GREEN MAN) and Adolfo Celi (LARGO OF THUNDERBALL).
