Though not popular upon its release, it was re-released to greater acclaim in 1977, and has since influenced countless fashion designers, films, and musicians, including Duran Duran, whose name is a play on that of the main villain. Set in outer space and shot in Rome. 9.5 x 11.75 inches. Light edgewear, else Near Fine. Vogel, Film as a Subversive Art.
