The Murder Game (1965 film)

The Murder Game is a 1965 British crime film directed by Sidney Salkow and starring Ken Scott, Marla Landi, Trader Faulkner and Conrad Phillips.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Competent thriller, directed without frills and with a happy disregard for coincidence.

The acting is efficient, if undistinguished, and the plot moves along at a pace fast enough to encompass one or two moments of suspense.

"[5] Variety wrote: "The Murder Game is a slow-paced British melodrama that is generally too wordy and lacking in punch ... does have some good moments of suspense and a fine realistic round of fisticuffs, with black and white camera work by Gerry Massey-Collier showing to advantage.

Faulkner is a talented actor, who comes across as well as he can under thie circumstances, Miss Landi, an attractive brunet [sic], is convincing as the scheming wife, but the storyline is lacking in an explanation of some of her past deeds that lead her to do in her new husband.
