Sleuth

Sleuth (1972) pairs Laurence Olivier with Michael Caine in a detective thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Sir Andrew Wyke, a wealthy writer of mystery novels, invites Milo Tindle, his wife's lover, out to his sprawling country house.

Milo braces for a confrontation and instead hears a bizarre proposal. Wyke will hand over his wife on one condition: Milo must fake the theft of her jewels. One man collects the insurance, the other sells the loot. But the plan hides a trap, and the two begin a duel of nerve where every move is plotted and someone's life is the wager. The whole picture rides on two men inside a single mansion.

Joseph L. Mankiewicz directed it from Anthony Shaffer's stage play, and it turned out to be his final film. Both leads, Olivier and Caine, landed Oscar nominations, a rare feat for a movie with a cast this tiny. Perfect for anyone who loves verbal sparring and a plot that keeps turning itself inside out.
