A Game of Murder

When I saw that Alan Bromly directed this six-episode TV series, I wondered who he was. I do not recall seeing anything else done by him, but I have to say that this series of six 24 min episodes enthralled me from beginning to end and I watched all episodes in swift order during a rainy afternoon.

Though I recognized some of the actors' mugs, I knew none of their names, not even Gerald Harper, who I do not recall seeing before. That noted, I found the acting very good within the production's parameters and in keeping with the fast-paced and convoluted developments.

Clever writing from Francis Durbridge, who keeps throwing new balls in the air, and you hardly notice that some of them have no option but because of logical holes in the script.

Above average, fitting photography for a 1966 TV series, with very sound production values.

All told, very enjoyable time capsule of the wonderfully creative 1960s. 8/10.
