Hi, Lee. In his DVD review in issue #30, Adrian Smith writes that The 10th Victim “prefigures Death Race 2000, Rollerball, The Running Man and even The Hunger Games in its idea of murder as mass entertainment, and [director/co-writer Elio] Petri deserves to receive some credit.” How about giving some to Robert Sheckley, upon whose 1953 short story “The Seventh Victim” the film was based, and whose name is nowhere mentioned? Sheckley (1928-2005) may not have been in Bradbury’s class, but he was a Hugo and Nebula nominee, named author emeritus by Sfwa in 2001. He even published a tie-in novelization of the film and, in the 1980s, two sequels, Victim Prime and Hunter/Victim. Sheckley’s work was also adapted into more than a dozen other films and television episodes, the best-known of which—for better or worse—is probably Freejack, based on his novel Immortality Inc.
