¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesDirector 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'!"
- PifiasWhen Sidney has the Deathtrap script and threatens to throw it into the fireplace, the fire isn't lit.
- Citas
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.
- Créditos adicionalesMurderous weapons by Eoin Sprott.
- Versiones alternativasCBS added 4 minutes to this film for its 1986 network television premiere.

Twisty Turny Thriller
A twisty turny thriller from Sidney Lumet that's a lot of fun.
Michael Caine is excellent as a blocked writer who hatches the diabolical scheme of murdering a young playwright (Christopher Reeve) so he can steal his terrific new play and pass it off as his own. But that's just the beginning. From there, it's a game of who's conning who and what's the next plot twist going to be?
Reeve is surprisingly fantastic in this. I say surprisingly because I never gave him much credit as a serious actor, but he's really good in this playing a wide range of emotions. Dyan Cannon rounds out the trio of stars, and while she's good with what she's given to do, I couldn't help but wish the original play upon which this movie is based (or the screen adaptation for that matter) had given her some plot twists of her own.
Just a really good bit of escapist fun.
