Trivia and Facts
- The character Lisa Schindler was originally written for Marlene Dietrich. However, this idea was dismissed by the producers, and Simone Signoret was cast instead.
- In a scene where Lisa Schindler is standing with her back to the dresser and facing Paul and Jennifer Montgomery, a reflection of a man (wearing a checkered jacket) can be seen in the vanity mirror. This is a continuity error in the film.
- The movie ‘Games’ was also shown in the documentary, “House of Harrington” in 2008. It’s worth noting that “House of Harrington” is a tribute to the director of “Games”, Curtis Harrington.
