Out For All He Can Take, Seduce, Or Get Away With...
The suave, psychedelic-era thief called Diabolik (John Phillip Law) 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!

Diabolik: what you'd get if James Bond became a thief - 4 out of 5 (7/7/2005)
Unknown to American audiences nowadays, Mario Bava's classic adaptation of the Italian comic Diabolik comes to DVD with a royal treatment by Paramount.
Marked by high style, one of the most beautiful female leads of any movie, and excellent performances by the two male leads, this film will seem quirky to the average American, but rewards the adventurous viewer with a sumptuous array of stunts, sets, and thrilling situations. The satire of law enforcement comes through loud and
