...secret is dark, powerful and obscure. He lays claim, by implication chiefly, to some sense of soul ("Wanna walk an' talk with my Lord," he bawls, tousled and sweating), and perhaps to his particular audience his shallows of the spirit seem like deeps. On the other hand, the screamers and shriekers and long, ecstatic moaners, as he drags out tormentedly "a favourite of my Morn and Dad's," are clearly getting a separate satisfaction out of their own behaviour. In fact so much of the performance is contributed from the auditorium that it is as hard to assess...
When the girl's husband (Cameron Mitchell), a got-rich peckerhead, finds out about that hotel visit, he ravishes his wife, just to even the score. Next day behind a sand dune, Egan has a "soul-shaking experience" with the lady, but Mitchell is victorious in the end. He tells his wife that if she leaves him, she must also leave the old plantation. In the book the plantation was no more than a makeweight for the whole way of life it implied.

Accordingly, on the night when The Game of Love opened a delegation from city hall, including the mayor, was on hand to debate the picture's obscenity. After some days of soul-searching, the mayor announced that he would let the showing continue...
...usual, the Assembly's decision was soggy with reservations. Ex-Premier Georges Bidault growled: "I voted for the government with death in my soul." One Gaullist complained: "I voted 'for' but I've just told Edgar that I deposited my ballot with a pair of fire tongs." The Socialists, who had given Faure his majority by backing his Moroccan policy, voted solidly against him on Algeria, on the ground that he was not moving toward reforms fast enough. So did three-fourths of the Gaullists, who thought Faure was going too far, and the Communists...
