Sleuth

This was marketed in India as the first Indian horror film, but there were spiritual and supernatural films that came out before this.

This time period in the U.S., films you probably know that came out were The Poseidon Adventure, Sam Peckinpah's The Getaway, Bruce Lee's Way of the Dragon, and Sleuth with Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier.

Now, the making of this film was a family affair.

The F.U. Ramsey on the poster is the patriarch, Fatah Chan U. Ramsey.

It's really funny.

He becomes friends with the writer Anthony Schaeffer, who's just had a smash hit with the play Sleuth in 1970.

And it's a 1972 film adaptation, which stars Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine.

And Christopher Lee tells Anthony Schaeffer, I'm sick of doing all this creature horror.

They just fully...

Like us doing the ending of Sleuth, they fully forgot to give any of the clues.

Yeah.

I...

Well, and that was basically Death Trapper is just like the other one that Michael Caine made with Laurence Olivier.

Sleuth? Yeah, Sleuth.

Sleuth.

Yeah, it was Sleuth.

Absolutely.

Yep, yep, yep.

Uh, it was Addison who was brought in to rescore that picture.

Um, in addition to Tom Jones, he received two other Academy Award nominations, one for Sleuth.

Marvelous, marvelous job he did on that picture in 1972.

Had kind of a, an almost English music hall quality.
