Sleuth (1972) / AvaxHome

Sleuth is a 1972 mystery film, an adaptation of the Tony Award-winning play of the same title by British playwright Anthony Shaffer. The screenplay was adapted by Shaffer. Directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, the film stars Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine.

Plot: Andrew Wyke is a wealthy, unhappily married country squire and writer of detective novels who delights in playing elaborate games. Aware that Milo Tindle is having an affair with his wife Marguerite, Wyke invites him to his country manor house in Wiltshire. Wyke, it turns out, is having an affair with a Finnish girl named Teija.
Wyke is ostensibly concerned that Tindle, a struggling businessman, will be unable to maintain Marguerite in the lifestyle to which she has become accustomed, and that she'll leave him and return to Wyke. Thus Wyke suggests that Tindle steal some valuable jewellery and sell it in order to live happily with Marguerite, while Wyke will claim the insurance in order to live happily with Teija. When Tindle agrees, Wyke offers him a disguise in case of unexpected visitors and, dressed up as a clown and under Wyke's supervision, Tindle breaks into Wyke's manor house. Wyke, himself, sets the charge and blows open the safe. Tindle grabs the box out of the blown safe, and obtains the jewels.
Wyke then reveals that he has lured Tindle into a trap whereupon he can legally shoot him as an intruder. Wyke's real grievance is that his wife has been having an affair with a working-class boy made good rather than a member of the upper classes like himself (Tindle's Italian origins make him even worse in Wyke's eyes.) He looks upon Tindle as "a jumped-up pantry boy who doesn't know his place". While Tindle begs for mercy, Wyke fires the gun.
Two days later the eccentric but methodical Inspector Doppler comes to Wyke's house, announcing that he is investigating Tindle's disappearance.
