Review of Games

Games (1967)
4/10
Don't Play these Games **

Warning: Spoilers
A pretty bad imitation of the older film "Diabolique."

An odd ball couple, James Caan and Katharine Ross, enjoy playing all sorts of tricks with their devised electrical equipment. Suddenly, Mrs. Schindler (Simone Signoret) shows up. While she isn't exactly Mrs. Robinson, she adds much to the mystery.

When a gun which is supposed to be filled with blanks goes off, a grocery delivery boy is killed and the couple try their best to hide the murder.

What follows is basically a diabolical scheme by Caan to get his wife's money. Mrs. Schindler is a cohort of the Caan character.

The picture tries to be scary, but it fails due to a lack of interest. Of course, Schindler turns the tables on Caan at the end, but you can't wait until all this is over.
