Default Sleuth (1972)

I recently watched the Laurence Olivier/Michael Caine film "Sleuth". What a wonderul film it is.
I noticed that a certain stressed but certainly Charming Stretford poet borrowed dialogue from the film in the early eighties. The following lines were shouted by Oliver to Caine;
"You're just a jumped up pantry boy who doesn't know his place"

As well as being a James Dean fan I think Morrisey is also a Michael Caine fan! its quite a memorable line from the film, it made me smile when the song first came out in the 80s and its not the only time Morrisey has used movie iconography and dialogue for his music, for example one of his record sleeves features a rather mad photo of Carry On's Charles Hawtrey.

Johnny Marr said in an interview that Morrissey wrote to both Charles Hawtrey and Linda McCartney in regards to playing piano on "The Queen is Dead". They both turned the offer down but what a thought....

I think Mozzer's a bit of an Olivier fan aswell, the original intended artwork for "Headmaster Ritual" was a still from "Term Of Trial" of Olivier caning Terence Stamp (another Moz fave!) but Olivier wouldnt give them permission to use the shot
