Viewing Notes

Totally dug into Sleuth featuring Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine. Plays like a stage romp and is deliciously fun. Surprisingly, no longer available on DVD. Needs a blu-ray/masters release. Was recently remade and I have that remake in possession. Would prefer to see a Hugh Jackman/Gene Hackman combo for a remake.
