Games. All the more interesting now after seeing the correspondence in basic story idea with Les Diaboliques (1954), a flick discussed in yesterday's post. What cements the deal is the reoccurrence of actor Simone Signoret.
Striking in Games is the atmospheric use of Pop Art (like Roy Lichtenstein), which serves as a sort of Greek Chorus.
Two other films on TV that terrorized me as a kid: The Boston Strangler (1968; confusing because Tony Curtis was usually a nice guy in movies) and Crowhaven Farm (1970), a tale of reincarnation, modern witches and flashbacks to events in colonial Salem, Massachusetts.

I've been able to avoid most aspects of adult life, but even my narrow brushes with it have been quite traumatic.
You never watched Our Gang or the 3 Stooges did you?
Erik-Katherine Ross and James Caan can't be all bad. It's my goal to someday own a Lichtenstein or at least one of Niagra's!
