On the venues in London and Broadway were the leading roles of Andrew Wyke and Milo Tindle played by Anthony Quayle andKeith Baxter. Shaffer wrote the operation also with Quayle in mind, and with Alan Bates for the opponent. Mankiewicz opted for Laurence Olivier, although he and his 65 years of fairly old for the role and he the play had dismissed as a "piece of piss", and Michael Caine.

The inspiration for the play, winner of the Tony Award for Best Play in 1971, Stephen Sondheim, Shaffer had gained in he a obsession for playing games arrogates [1]. But "If it's only a game, why the blood?". On the movie poster was the viewer intrigued with the question "If it was murder, where's the body?". Another tagline was: "Think of the perfect crime... Then go one step further." [2] .

It is difficult to discuss without the movie good to betray the many intriguing twists. As with the original play are there people on the title role that is not at all play along. Eve Channing exists just as Marguerite Wyke, her name is a nod to Eve Harrington and Margot Channing, the main characters in All About Eve. In the story she is only present as a painting on the wall, barely noticeable between the myriad set pieces with which extremely playful Designer Ken Adam the actors and viewers confusing every time. Where the play in form and content the borders between the reality and the show explores the world of the stage, tilt Adam intolerable still more abstract stage to the world on the flat screen. The sense of alienation is enhanced by the seemingly casual camera twists and the maze of quiet reflections and references that pop up everywhere in words and pictures. Model for the portrait of Mrs Wyke was also a picture of a life-like Joanne Woodward, Paul Newman 's second wife. ==Versions[ Edit] == The film premiered in the United States on 10 december 1972, Netherlands followed 26 december 1973. At the beginning of 2002, the film was released on dvd . As bonus material were two trailers and an interview with the author attached, in which they are not keeping quiet about the initial reserves film adaptation, but also to its ultimate satisfaction with the result.

At the time the film was released In Netherlands and Flanders as the tracking dog. The Spanish title is La huella in translation "the track", but the French title Le Limier or "the Bloodhound" remains closer to the original. The Portuguese translation touches on the sore spot: Jogo mortal means "I play lethal" or "deadly game".
