Wissenswertes
Director Sidney Lumet once commented on the real stage-play scenes seen in this movie: "We used the original set of 'Deathtrap' as our set for Sidney Bruhl's flop play. The Music Box (Theatre) is dark on Mondays, so we shot there on a Monday, along with six hundred dress extras as first-nighters. Thus, the opening scene is a movie of a play-within-a-play which takes place within the play on which the movie is based. If that's not completely clear, it's at least a 'first'!"

Patzer
When Sidney has the Deathtrap script and threatens to throw it into the fireplace, the fire isn't lit.

Zitate
Myra Bruhl: Is it really that good?
Sidney Bruhl: I'll tell you how good it is. Even a gifted director couldn't hurt it.

Crazy Credits
Murderous weapons by Eoin Sprott.

Alternative Versionen
CBS added 4 minutes to this film for its 1986 network television premiere.

Great movie but where is the widescreen DVD?

Definitely one of the most witty and twisted who-dunnit I ever seen. Christopher Reeve and Micheal Caine were brilliant and kept me going through the whole affair.

Very classy set pieces and the props really lend a sense of atmosphere to the proceedings. The minimalist feel works for the whole picture.

My only complain isn't with the film itself but the lack of a decent widescreen edition of the movie on DVD. I own the fullscreen version (which proves I love the film enough to endure fullscreen presentation) but a awesome Deluxe or 'special' edition would most surely get my cash.
