siqian-53477 Dial M for Murder "Well, because in stories things usually turn out the way the author wants them to; and in real life they don't... always." Yes, this murder didn't go quite as expected. In the beginning, the betrayal of Mrs.Wendice(Grace Kelly) gave the audiences a sense of leading turmoil, and Mr.Wendice(Ray Milland)' meeting with a special guest(Anthony Dawson) slowly revealed their conspiracy..."Dial M for Murder" was a crime drama that directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1954, starring Grace Kelly, Ray Milland, John Williams, Robert Cummings and John Williams. This film described a tennis player Tony wants to murder his wife to obtain her possession after he found out his wife's affair with Mark Halliday. Tony came up a perfect plan of killing his wife that will create an alibi for himself. When things didn't happen as expected, Tony has trouble to prove his "innocent" to the inspector(John Williams) who later arrived the scene.The movie mainly shot in one room, which makes it harder for audiences to focus for a long period. Instead of changing in location, the fast pacing of the story constantly hooked audiences' attention.The acting part was sophisticated which means every expression on their face tells their inner emotion. For example, when Tony's presses his lips together to force a stiff smile, it gives you an idea of untrustworthy.The movie is one of those classic films you will watch over and over again without getting out of interest.
kobisims This movie has a great story line for the fifties and when he explains how he is going to plan her murder in detail is just mind blowing. Hitchcock had an amazing way of putting this movie together, but one thing I didn't really like was how cheesy the guys death was other than that i really didn't have much to complain about. Also when the main actor is blackmailing the guy it kind of draws your attention and has you thinking what going to happen next. I highly recommend watching this movie you wont be disappointed.
donaldricco Just a great movie to watch! Top notch Hitchcock! Loved the plot and loved the inspector! Especially his little mustache comb! A really good movie! I wonder if this would be titled something different in the age of smart phones. Maybe "Text M for Murder"? I also very much enjoyed the way the director made his cameo in this one! Bravo!
Shibasish Dutta Roy Its starts with a man who decides to murder his wife because she had an affair the year before. He blackmails an old college associate to strangle her. But things don't go according to plan and then he has to come up with a brilliant plan B. This is certainly the best Hitchcock thriller that I've seen. The whole story remains right before our eyes without any plot holes. It has the capability to keep its audience on the edge of their seats throughout the 105 minutes running time.
