Wonderful character development!

A Disappointing Continuation

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The filming in "Dial M for Murder" is done well, it expresses emotions and interactions between the characters. It is nice to see that the movie can keep its watchers engaged without having to change the set, aside from moving around in the Wendice's house. The casting is amazing, as the actors all do their parts flawlessly. The dialogue is probably my favorite part, because some of it is funny and some of it foreshadows, and it makes for a great plot. It's almost ironic that Mark partially uncovers what had happened, as he is a crime/detective writer. And even though Tony plans out everything, nobody can commit the perfect murder. 9/10

Dial M for murder was full of excitement. It starts off with a husband wanting to kill his wife. You don't know what is happening in the first part of the movie but you begin to piece it together after the husband, Tony, starts to explain his plan. As he is explaining it you think to yourself there is no way he has figured this whole thing out all by himself but he surprises you. As i was watching this movie i was thinking to myself well what if this happens and then Tony says exactly what he would do if something were to go wrong and it blew my mind. The way Alfred Hitchcock takes you through a maze of emotions from confusion on why Tony wants to kill his wife to disappointment when you think the wife was the one who would actually do the time for a crime she didn't commit. I think the ending of the movie was a very artistic and bold choice. It ended with Tony walking in the front door with a key he shouldn't have used if he was innocent. It leaves you guessing what happens to him. It is obvious that he will get caught and be in trouble but even though it leaves you knowing what will happen your mind still goes in a thousand different directions. Will he talk his way out of it? Will he do the time for hiring someone to kill his wife? I think its amazing how just not showing the rest of the story can leave you thinking and wondering but also loving the way it ended. I would definitely watch this movie again. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time and it kept my attention throughout all the twists and what if's.

Dial M for Murder by Alfred Hitchcock is a crime/thriller. Starring Ray Milland, Grace kelly,and Robert Cummings. the film is set in London.Tony Wendice (Ray Milland) a retired tennis player has found out that his wife doesn't love him anymore. In response to this Tony wants to kill his wife. He follows someone that he knew form college and tricks him into having to listen to his bribe to kill his wife. Tony bribes the man with 1,000 but payed 100 pounds in advance. The plan is drawn out and as it is being executed the plan goes wrong and Tony quickly must make a plan B.Like in all Alfred Hitchcock movies there is a huge amount of camera work. Hitchcock uses camera angles to show how close the people are and emotions. The closer they are in his wide shots the closer they are in a relationship. Instead of using the actors voice more he uses their faces and their reactions to specific scenes to show their emotions.The acting in this movie is outstanding. You can really see the improvement on acting from this movie alone. You can see the emotion in the actors' face and in their voice.I thought that the movie was very well made and that it deserves a 9/10. I recommend this movie for anyone who likes crime/thriller movies.

Watching it in 2017- a 63 year old film and being mesmerized by the concept, theme, acting, directing, and all the stuff of this brilliantly fabulous movie.All the actors (Ray Milland, Grace Kelly, Robert Cummings, Anthony Dawson, John Williams) were absolute class on their respective characters. I just wish I could go back to those days to have the experience of those beautiful days. Everyone should watch this masterpiece. I know that most of today's viewers prefer movies having nudity or "f" words or sexuality, but a true movie lover must watch class films of yesteryear, and this one is certainly one of them.
