synopsis
During his brief tenure as a "graylisted" actor (thanks to his activities in the "radical" Actors Lab), Lloyd Bridges made a a few films abroad. In Big Deadly Game, Bridges plays an ex-GI vacationing in England. He touches base with an old war buddy, and it is this gesture which gets him deeply involved in Cold War espionage. Simone Silva and Finlay Currie costar in this sometimes baffling exercise. Big Deadly Game didn't afford Lloyd Bridges much in the way of prestige, but it did provide him a nice tax-exempt paycheck.
