Games (1967)
2/10
Thomas Wolfe was right...

You can't go home again. I remember seeing Games 35 years ago on the late-afternoon movie show, heavily cut. I treasured the memory of a suave, clever, scary film. I've been looking for this film for years; I wanted to share the fun with my friends. Unfortunately, I found it on DVD. While I understand why I loved it as a kid, it is one of those treasures that shouldn't be revisited. The direction is terrible, the script is worse, the cinematography and lighting are inept, same with the editing, and S Signoret appeared to be in her cups for most of the film(though she gave a good last scene). I'll give the other actors the benefit of the doubt...
