Intimate Games
Intimate Games (also known as Sex Games of the Very Rich) is a 1976 British sex comedy directed by Tudor Gates and starring George Baker, Anna Bergman and Ian Hendry.[2][3] It was written by Gates. PlotProfessor Gottlieb pairs his psychology students and instructs them to write down each other's sexual fantasies. The students take the opportunity put their desires into practice, and later send Gottlieb their accounts. Back in class, Gottlieb imagines the girls naked and is driven away in an ambulance foaming at the mouth. Cast
ProductionThe film was shot at Twickenham Studios and on location in Oxford.[citation needed] Critical receptionThe Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A cast of fresh-faced girls and clean-limbed young men cavort through this grindingly unfunny British sex comedy in apparent ignorance of the debilitating constraints of its coy, assembly-line plot. The discomfort of troupers like George Baker and Ian Hendry at participating in this tedious nonsense is, however, as apparent as the absence of passion from the decorous, dimly-lit lesbian love-making. A half-hearted attempt at placing the movie in a scientific context (by a last-minute voice-over warning against abnormal fantasies) is as strikingly unconvincing as all the permutations of sexual mimicry which have gone before."[4] Screen International wrote: "It is a thought to ponder on that all the heterosexual confrontations and couplings are given the nudge-nudge guffaw treatment while the tenderness and tasteful photography that make for true eroticism are reserved for the lesbian scene. The film is an uncomfortable bringing together of schoolboy rudery, girlie film nudity, time-wasting location filming, and a down-beat tragic ending. The one delight is Joyce Blair's dance. The young actors have vitality and charm. The guest stars have my sympathy."[5] References
