| All's fair in love and war in the riveting, original version of this ultimate battle
of wits. Four-time Academy Award®* Nominee Sleuth pits the formidable
acting talents of Oscar®** winners Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier
together as their characters must out-play each other with nerve and guile.
Upper class crime writer Andrew Wyke (Olivier) learns of his wife's infidelity
with immigrant Italian-English hairdresser (Caine) and invites him to his 16th
Century mansion for what seems like a magnanimous, if criminal, attempt at
reconciliation. But the games fanatic has much more in store for his younger
and more virile nemesis. What ensues is a lethal game of cat and mouse
where the upper-hand shifts as often as the fiendishly clever plot twists.
Who wins and who forfeits when the stakes are love and pride? In one of
cinema's most memorable endings we learn there can be no winners.
