Game for Three Losers

Happily married businessman and politician Robert Hilary lets his desire for his new secretary get the better of him, and he kisses her. Her boyfriend finds out and blackmails him, but when the blackmailer continues to return for more money Robert decides to call in the authorities. However, this leads to severe consequences for all.

Not bad thriller with some good performances from Michael Gough, who usually stars in horror films, and plays a politician who ruins his political career with one kiss, Mark Eden as the blackmailer and Toby Robins as the secretary, who, I think, steals the scene. In a way she's groomed by Eden's character as she's not too keen on this blackmail scheme. What happens to her is quite sad. The plot can be a bit thin, and lacks that excitements, but the acting keeps it from being totally dreary.
