The surprise party for songwriter George Webber's 42nd birthday is not pleasant. He cannot cope with middle age. Despite the presence of his lover Samantha Taylor (played by Julie Andrews), he accidentally runs into a "10," the apparently virginal Jenny Miles, en route to her wedding. Instantly obsessed, he follows her to the church in order to capture a second glimpse of her astounding beauty. On a laughter scale, Blake Edwards' 10, a spicy comedy of manners, morals, and midlife crises, hits the top. It's a film of many moods, sometimes sexy, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes slapstick - but always on target. That target is forty two year old composer, George Webber, a man who has everything - and who may just chuck it all in an obsessive quest for a beautiful woman he glimpses en route to her wedding.
