for Sleuth, I always wondered if Olivier based his performance as Wyke on Harrison's very similar performance in Mankiewicz's The Honey Pot. The performances are remarkable in their similarities. I was reminded of that as well as Unfaithfully Yours, specifically the scene where Harrison frames Kurt Kreuger. RH's line "I really want you to" seems to prefigure LO in Sleuth. Hm, haven't seen Unfaithfully Yours. (I know, I know, and Sturges is one of my favorite writer-directors, too!) But I think Olivier was definitely borrowing, at least in part, from The Honey Pot (which has some other similarities with Sleuth, particularly in plotting, as well). |
