Deathtrap

1982, dir Sidney Lumet w/Michael Caine, Christopher Reeve, Dyan Cannon, 116 min, DCP

Another cat-and-mouse film rife with wonderful twists, DEATHTRAP again features Michael Caine but this time, he is the senior to Christopher Reeves’ handsome younger man – and the conflict isn’t over a woman, it’s over a play. Again, not so much a whodunnit as a what-could-happen-next, DEATHTRAP is a theatrical meta-fiction joy to experience.
