10 (film)

From Freepedia

Image:Ten-BoDerek.jpg 10 is a 1979 film directed by Blake Edwards and starring Bo Derek, Dudley Moore and Julie Andrews. Considered a trend-setting film at the time, and one of the year's biggest box office hits, the movie made Derek a superstar and also revived the film career of Dudley Moore. The title derives from a rating system used by men to rank women based upon sexuality, with a 10 being the epitome of attractiveness. It came into common usage as a result of this film. Also popularized was the classical music piece "Bolero" by Ravel which is identified as a piece of music ideal for making love to; Derek later appeared in a film of the same name in order to capitalize upon its use in this movie.

The film was one of the first major films to shoot alternate versions of scenes in order to facilitate network television broadcast with a minimum of censorship. In the case of 10, this included filming two versions of scenes in which Moore's character watches a sexy neighbor walking nude around her house and making love. In the theatrical version, porn actress Annette Haven plays the neighbor and appears nude; the TV version substitutes an uncredited, blonde actress who keeps at least a swimsuit on.
