About this product

Product Information

Sidney Lumet faithfully adapts Ira Levin's witty play of intertwining intentions and duplicitous loyalties in his stinging thriller DEATHTRAP. Set in the glittering milieu of New York's Hamptons, the film stars Michael Caine as Sidney Bruhl, a washed-up writer of Broadway hit thrillers reeling from the unmitigated flop of his most recent play. Upon returning to his wife, Myra--a heart-murmur-afflicted, pill-popping, and incredibly wealthy hysterical played to great effect by Dyan Cannon--Sidney reveals that to add to his chagrin, a former student (Christopher Reeve) has sent him his brilliant first play, entitled DEATHTRAP. Much to his wife's dismay, Sidney concocts a mad scheme to lure the young playwright out to East Hampton and then promptly kill him in order to claim the play as his own. When the wheels of Sidney's plan are set in motion, the three characters launch into a tense, high-pitched game of double entendres, hidden intentions, and unexpected twists. The genre's typical propensity for reversals is magnified tenfold as DEATHTRAP begins to feed upon its own script, taking the characters on a blind ride through sheer suspense and manipulation. Caine, Cannon, and Reeve turn in bravado performances that inject the already taught script with fine-tuned tension and raise the viewer's suspension of disbelief to dizzying and hilarious heights.

    Caine, Cannon, and Reeve well casted

    Humorous script, Well directed, Well acted. Dyan Cannon is a hoot. Christopher Reeve in a boyish role. Michael Caine great as always. Fun story.

  • Deathtrap

    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.

  • GREAT VIDEO IF YOU LOVE A GOOD MYSTERY

    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.

  • Sleuth remake 10 years later.

    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.

  • deathtrap a classic

    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!
