Sleuth [incl. Dubbed ver. for TV]

[Machine Translation] A mystery writer and a hairdresser gigolo. The ultimate game of deception played by two great actors! Anthony Shaffer adapted the Tony Award-winning stage play of the same name for its intense psychological battles, clever playwriting, and a series of Dondenbach returns. Directed by Hollywood master Joseph L. Mankiewicz, the film features two of Britain's best actors, Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine, in a dueling duo act that sparks the ultimate showdown of deception. This masterpiece mystery received a double Oscar nomination for Best Actor, and was also nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Original Score. --Wyke, a renowned old mystery writer living in a mansion on the outskirts of London, calls his wife's lover, Milo, a hairdresser, to his home and makes her an unexpected proposal. In exchange for giving up his spendthrift wife, he wants her to pose as a thief and steal the jewels stored in a hidden wall safe. The jewels are heavily insured, and both parties benefit. His wife is away and the servants are on vacation, so tonight is his chance. Milo, who is short on cash, follows Wyke's plot and executes his drunken perfect crime plan... The film has been newly mastered for the first time on disc using full HD scans from the original negative. The dubbed voice of the TV broadcast version (TBS "Friday Road Show" version) is recorded for the first time. The dubbed sound is the original sound and Japanese subtitles in some parts. The dubbed Japanese version of the original is played back in full. The dubbed Japanese language version can be played back in the same way as the TV broadcast version by skipping the parts without the dubbed voice.
