SLEUTH (1972)
Todays movie; detective writer seeks revenge on wife's lover and tables are turned.....never mind. I don't know how we stuck ourselves with this one. It is all 'film'-flammery and obviously a vehicle for the aging Lawrence Olivier; over the top and into the final stages of building the estate. Michael Caine walks the plank; musta' done it for the money luv. He says that he did a lot of films strictly for the cash and is sorry for it. This must be one of them. A sorry one out of Netflixfive for this scenery chewer. We should have known, eh what? It was our money they took! That is the ultimate table-turn.
A younger Olivier shown here will be seen later as we dig into the best 1000. We are still working on our first flush choices for the Netflix cue.
