The Love Game (French: Les Jeux de l'amour) is a 1960 French comedy film directed by Philippe de Broca. It was entered into the 10th Berlin International Film Festival where it won the Silver Bear Extraordinary Jury Prize.

The film's distributor threatened to seek an injunction against the U.S. Commissioner of Customs, who delayed granting clearance for The Love Game to be exhibited in the United States.

Plot

Suzanne wants to marry Victor and have children with him. Victor on the other hand isn't interested in becoming a husband or a father. While he cannot be bothered into complying with her wishes, their mutual friend Francois would be happy to do so. Consequently, Suzanne eventually turns to Francois. This leaves Victor no other choice than to change his mind if he wants Suzanne back.
