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.

  • He is not the "Man of Steel"

    I bought this film as sort of a tribute to Christopher Reeve, and to see what he had done in his other movies. He did make a great "Superman," after all. And he was terrific in "Somewhere in Time," and very good in "Black Fox." "Deathtrap" is supposed to be wickedly, dazzlingly funny, a gleeful romp, but I did not find it so. One part of the blurb on the cover states in part: "you'll stop laughing only long enough to gasp in surprise." I never started laughing. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't mind a few "H" words or "D" words here and there, but they added in the "A," "B," and "S" words far too often. There is too much foul language in this film for my taste and to see Christopher kissing Michael Caine full on the mouth as in, they are "gay" lovers, is an instant, jaw dropping ...

  • Excellent movie for the price.

    I have not seen this movie in over 20 years but I did remember the twists and turns this movie had that kept you guessing. Excellent job of casting as well.
