It is a dramatic study of sexual conflict and jealousy between an older and a younger man; as well as a subtle psychological portrait of an inadequate and sexually-obsessed middle-aged man. Sleuth was filmed by Joseph Mankiewicz, with Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine in the leading roles, and this edition is fully illustrated with stills from the film, for which Anthony Shaffer wrote the screenplay. >>> Book = Minor Tape Residue with Minor Paper-Puls on inside front and back covers, Very Good; Dust Jacket = One Inch Piece missing at Top of pine to DJ, Crease on Back of DJ, Several Pieces of Tape on edges of DJ, scuffingthus Good Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall.
