The unGoogle-ables: They didn't see the Internet coming
It's the film that inspired a million poster sales and many more middle-aged male fantasies. It's 10.
Can you Google it?
Not a chance.
What is it?
It's a 1979 Blake Edwards romantic comedy that made a star of a cornrowed Bo Derek and, inexplicably, rumpled English shortarse Dudley Moore. Moore is a songwriter in the grip of mid-life crisis who begins rating women out of 10, until he spots Derek and pursues her on her honeymoon in Mexico.
What were they thinking?
Well, this was pre-Internet. Misleadingly, Bo scores an 11.
Did it do them any harm?
It didn't do Bo or Dudders any harm, making them both -- albeit briefly -- stars.
Top hit for 10?
Number10.gov.uk
The official site of the Prime Minister's Office. The Internet's love of lists means that Bo 'n' Dud are nowhere to be seen, amid such gems as Netbook showdown: The top 10 mini laptops rated and Top ten terrible tech products from your very own Crave.
How do we find it?
Try either Moore or Derek, or start at the IMDb page. You could probably even watch it on YouTube, but we strongly recommend you buy the DVD instead.
