 REVIEW -- Diabolik
Knowing that Diabolik will try to steal it, he has the gold "radioactivated." In this way, if stolen, they will be able to trace the gold back to Diabolik's lair, effectively leading them to all of the stolen goods.
Diabolik is temporarily distracted by their intrusion, only to meet his fate when the extreme heat from the drill he is using to melt the gold causes the container to explode, covering him entirely in gold.
DIABOLIK is especially interesting for the way it covers different territory than Bava's horror films and gialli, while at the same time remaining true to the tone of his overall body of work.

 Danger: Diabolik - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Danger: Diabolik (also known simply as Diabolik) is a 1968 feature film from Italian filmmaker Mario Bava based on the Italian comic character Diabolik.
It is the story of a skilled thief (played by John Phillip Law) living out of a ritzy hideout who steals incredible riches from the Italian government- including $10 million in cash, a highly prized set of emeralds, and an enormous gold ingot.
While fairly faithful to the original, having Diabolik and Eva drive their fl and white Jaguars, etc, the movie portrayed Eva more like a scantily-clad damsel in distress than is shown in the original stories.

 Meet Diabolik: Visual Arts: Joel Wicklund: CenterstageChicago.com
Dressed in a smashingly impractical leather ninja outfit (so firmly plastered over his mouth that his facial features are still visible), he plots and executes the kind of impossible heists that even good, church-going folk see in a glamorous light.
But where Batman obsesses on injustice, Diabolik lives simply to pull of the next great heist, frustrate the police tracking him, stick it to "the man," and enjoy his decadent lifestyle with his gorgeous gal pal Eva Kant.
Bava would return to the horror genre he made his name with after completing "Danger: Diabolik," but for its dazzling imagery alone this film deserves to be mentioned along with his famous chillers as an example of this influential visual stylist working near the top of his game.

 Hollywood Gothique: Danger: Diabolik (1968) Review
Of course, we're supposed to root for Diabolik because he's good-looking and cool, also because he has a passionate relationship with his girlfriend, Eva Kant (Marisa Mell), and it's clear that the robberies are done not for the money but for the exictiment and titillation.
The film's ending sees Diabolik at last hoist upon his own petard, but a final fadeout wink to the audience seems to promise a sequel.
He denies the "camp" label that some critics applied to the film in the wake of the BATMAN television series and points out that the tone is playful, rather than mocking of the subject matter.

In psychedelic swinging 60s style, the dreaded thief (and killer) Diabolik wreaks havoc on a generic European country for his own financial gain and amusement.
He shares an extravagant underground lair (and a giant bed of money) with his curvaceous, superficial girlfriend...who uses her awesome powers of wig-wearing to help Diabolik kill innocent people and steal billions from the government.
Nonetheless, Diabolik is the "hero" of the film because he must face off against bumbling cops and revenge-seeking mafiosos.

 Deep Discount DVD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Made at the height of the Swinging '60s, Mario Bava's stylish, tongue-in-cheek adaptation of the popular Italian comic strip DIABOLIK captures all the lavish decadence typical of the psychedelic era.
Sharing an opulent underground lair with his stunning, amoral girlfriend Eva Kant (Marisa Mell), Diabolik globetrots Europe in his quest for wealth while confounding both the police (Michel Piccoli and Terry Thomas) and a rival criminal (Adolfo Celi).
With its innovative cinematography and a pulsing score by soundtrack maestro Ennio Morricone, DIABOLIK has been referenced in a Beastie Boys video and Roman Coppola's CQ--and owns the dubious honor of being the last film parodied by Mystery Science Theater 3000.
