About this product

Product Information

Rarely has a movie with only three characters been so enthralling as SLEUTH, guided by the expert direction of Joseph L. Mankiewicz. Mystery writer and gamesman Andrew Wyke (Laurence Olivier) has found the next target for his mind games: Milo Tindal (Michael Caine), a nice young British hairdresser who is having an affair with Andrew's neglected wife, hoping to eventually marry her. Professing to want to release his wife to him, Andrew lures Milo to his country house to play a very nasty trick--but Andrew's trick comes back to haunt him. Featuring a revelation viewers will have to fight to hold back when recommending this mystery to friends, SLEUTH will greatly appeal to drawing-room murder fans, who will find the movie thrilling with its unexpected twists and turns. Both the unscrupulous and unremorseful Andrew and Milo, sweet but up to Andrew's challenge, shine in each other's company, shrugging off each wicked verbal barb before zinging back another. Both Caine and Olivier are brilliant in their roles; the former was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor. SLEUTH is based on the play by British playwright Anthony Shaffer.

  • Clever and engaging.

    First saw this as a youngster not long after its release and was totally engaged with it. Starring Laurence Olivier & Michael Caine, these two stalwarts of British cinema totally carry the plot with engaging acting and bounce off of each other in a game of mental chess and intrigue. Cleverly written by Anthony Shaffer who also wrote The Wicker Man, the story is full of twists and turns with excellent dialogue. I recently bought the DVD; hence this review and wasn't disappointed. I hadn't been remembering the film through rose tinted glasses, it was still as sharp and funny as I remembered. Friends I've invited 'round to watch it who hadn't heard of it were also taken with the movie and put it up there with one of the great films of the 70's.

  • Second Viewing

    I was looking forward to watching this film for the first time since first watching it as a teenager in the 1970's. I was a bit disappointed. It will always be a good film but not as good as I thought it was. The direction and photography is not that good, despite having been made by a great Hollywood director, and it just seems a bit dated however the acting is brilliant and timeless.
