10 (1979) – Rewatch

Dudley Moore is in a relationship with Julie Andrews, but upon seeing the beautiful Bo Derek in her wedding gown he wants her instead. It’s another late film in the Blake Edwards’s catalog where the main character is a middle-aged male having a midlife crisis and treats women solely as objects for his own desire. He’s unable to deal with the fact that the woman herself has no issue with having sexual flings. I guess we’re supposed to ignore the reasons why Edwards is writing films about a husband cheating on his actual wife. The braids on Derek are iconic though and made me miss the days when I would braid my own hair in tiny braids.

Oscar Nominations: Best Music, Original Song; Best Music, Original Score
