Intimate Games is a 1976 British sex comedy directed by Tudor Gates and Martin Campbell and starring George Baker, Anna Bergman and Ian Hendry.[2] It was written by Gates.
Professor 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.
The film was shot at Twickenham Studios and on location in Oxford.
The 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."[3]
