Michael Caine plays a famous mystery playwright who can't seem to come up with a good play anymore. Christopher Reeve plays a young student who studied under Caine the summer before. He has sent a copy of his manuscript of an absolutely terrific play that he has written to Caine for him to review. Dyan Cannon plays Caine's adoring but somewhat naive wife who still believes in him. He decides to murder the young writer and take credit for the play himself. This film has a significant twist, or two, in it. This is a pretty good mystery-comedy. Michael Caine is very convincing as the good guy gone bad because of his ego. Dyan Cannon does a surprisingly good job as the supporting actress. And Christopher Reeve is no superman in this one.
Humorous script, Well directed, Well acted. Dyan Cannon is a hoot. Christopher Reeve in a boyish role. Michael Caine great as always. Fun story.

A who done it with lots of twists and turns. It will keep you guessing for most of the movie. If you love mysteries this one is a keeper. This was kind of a sleeper at the box office, as many good movies are. Michael Cain is excellent in this and Chris Reeves does a great job also. Diane Canyon is a hoot, very neurotic. Well worth the time to spend a evening watching with a bowl of popcorn.
It was like a remake of "Sleuth"; & really doesn't need the crassness of modern culture thrown in. But, it's somewhat engaging. The outcome is predictable, though. Missed Sir Laurence Olivier's acting in the 2nd version.

Michael Kane and Christopher Reeve make for a great cast and deliver top-notch performances in this thriller classic. So what if there are no explosions or car chases! Only a few sets are required to tell the story which is both thrilling and unpredictable. The weapons hanging on the wall are soooo cool and make the watcher wonder which ones will be used before the story comes to an end! A bloody end, yes. great!
Nice CD. Good picture. I really enjoyed watching it.
