Danger: Diabolik is a stylish and visually striking action/crime film released in 1968. Directed by Mario Bava, the movie is based on the Italian comic series of the same name, created by Angela and Luciana Giussani. Set in an unspecified European city, the film follows the exploits of a master thief Diabolik (John Phillip Law) and his partner and lover Eva Kant (Marisa Mell).

Diabolik is a cunning and daring thief who steals priceless jewels and valuable items from the rich and powerful. He strikes fear in the hearts of the police and the establishment, as he always manages to outsmart them and escape unscathed. He is a master of disguise, able to transform himself into anyone or anything to complete his daring heists.

On the other hand, Diabolik's partner and lover Eva Kant is a sultry and seductive femme fatale who is equally involved in his life of crime. She is Diabolik's confidant and ally, helping him to plan and execute his daring robberies. Together, they are the ultimate outlaw duo - glamorous, dangerous, and unstoppable.

But Diabolik's criminal activities attract the attention of the government, and a ruthless law enforcement agent, Inspector Ginko (Michel Piccoli) is tasked with bringing him to justice. Ginko is determined to catch Diabolik at any cost, and he uses all his resources and cunning to find and capture the elusive thief. Along the way, he is aided by a glamorous female undercover agent, who is tasked with seducing and capturing Diabolik.

The film is full of high-speed chases, daring escapes, and thrilling action sequences, all set against a backdrop of bright colors and surreal, psychedelic visuals. Bava's direction is stylish and innovative, using split screens, freeze frames, and other techniques to heighten the film's sense of excitement and danger.

The performances are excellent, with John Phillip Law bringing a charismatic and playful energy to the role of Diabolik. Marisa Mell is equally impressive as Eva Kant, bringing a sultry and captivating presence to the screen. Michel Piccoli is suitably menacing as Inspector Ginko, playing the character as a cold and calculating hunter, obsessed with capturing his prey.

Overall, Danger: Diabolik is an exciting and stylish film that offers a thrilling ride for fans of action and crime movies. With its unforgettable visuals, great performances, and thrilling storyline, the film is a classic of the genre, and a must-see for anyone who loves stylish action films.
