Sleuth (1972) stars Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine, both Academy Award nominees for their performances.  The movie, directed by Joseph L Mankiewicz, is about a man who loves games and theater.  He invites his wife’s lover to meet him, setting up a battle of wits with potentially deadly results. Rated PG.

This film series is part of Milton Reads, which chose The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for the entire town to read as a literary project, along with enjoying related events throughout the summer and fall.
