Deadly Game is a 1982 television film that premiered on HBO. The intellectual thriller was directed by George Schaefer and adapted from a 1960 play by James Yaffe that was in turn based on a novel by Swiss author Friedrich Dürrenmatt. It stars George Segal as an American tourist traveling in the Swiss Alps who is lured into a dangerous mock trial by retired British lawyers played by Trevor Howard, Robert Morley, and Emlyn Williams.
The film, which was made in London, received critical acclaim.[1] It received the CableACE Award for best single program, along five additional nominations, including ones for the performances of Segal and Howard. The film also served as actor Alan Webb's final screen performance.
