Game tells the gamy tale of a hot young wife who commits incest with the hot young stepson (Peter McEnery) of her cold old husband (Michel Piccoli), and Vadim finds opportunities innumerable to show the world what a lucky man he is. Mrs. Vadim is exhibited stark naked in a bed of lust and rising from a garden pool like the White Rock girl. She also appears topless in a bathroom and bottomless under a hair dryer...
Married. Juliette Greco, 39, French actress (The Roots of Heaven) and far-out chanteuse; and Michel Piccoli, 40, new-wave leading man to Jeanne Moreau and Jane Fonda; both for the second time, in Verderonne, France...
