Fun & Games With Two Fine Actors
1972's Sleuth is literally a two-man show, with Olivier and Caine matching each other scene for scene in this lengthy 2-hour, 18-minute story revolving around some rather unusual parlor games.It's a pleasure to watch these two actors at work (or is it "play"?). I've never enjoyed Mr. Caine more.It's quite unusual to see a movie with the entire cast comprising just two people! (Well, for the most part we see just the two leads at any rate.) And each of these standout "leads" does a bloody good job of holding our interest till the end.I would certainly recommend this top-notch tongue-in-cheek murder mystery.
