Rating: 5.0
What a delicious movie!
Michael Caine and Lawrence Olivier give a stella performance in this delicious murder mystery. I have seen this film several times, and although knowing the twist, it is the great performances of Caine and Olivier that makes this movie worth watching. The script is as good as a script can get, with Olivier lapping up every delicious line with gusto, and a young Caine having no problem standing on his own brilliant performance next to the master.This is no 'ceuf pourri' by any means. And although not a new movie, one must return to 'the place they are familiar with' and ..... relish the enjoyment of this film.Although 'Milo' (Caine's character) is in a 'sticky' situation, the back and fourth of betrayl from beginning to end is worth keeping within a 'photo album' of deciet. Seek the truth, and while doing so, lap up this brilliant film.
