BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

shahraiz-kayani Perfect plan and perfect execution by Tony Wendice but due to Swann panic his second plan also failed. Swann left key outside I mean after murdering Margot Swann had to come back from the door. He left key outside I don't think he could make such a small mistake but again no crime is perfect.Overall Perfect.

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.

beresfordjd I really have never been able to like Grace Kelly - everything I have seen her in seems to be the same character. There are lots of movie stars from that era that are the same but she is just annoying. That said Dial M for Murder is a satisfying plot, obviously from the stage originally but it works on film. Robert Cummings is another milk-white nonentity in this movie who fits well as Kelly's lover - the best thing about it is Ray Milland, a somewhat underrated actor. John Williams , too is excellent as the inspector and provides the undercurrent of humour throughout what is quite a dark tale. Hitchcock manages to draw out whatever suspense there is in the story - it is after all, his area of expertise.

851222 Greetings from Lithuania."Dial M for Murder" (1954) is a one pure film to enjoy. As you have writing this good, even if the story does look a bit silly at the end it doesn't hurt the overall experience - "Dial M for Murder" is an highly involving story excellently told.I loved acting by Ray Milland as Tony Wendice - this character he is a one charming bastard - am i the only one who kinda rooted for him? Others were pretty OK for this material and the time when movie was made - but Ray Milland's performance was kinda ahead of its time. Directing by the legendary Alfred Hitchcock was great - at running time 1 h 45 min this movie was perfectly paced and was highly involving all the way long.Overall, "Dial M for Murder" is a simple mystery / detective story excellently told. Its not much as mystery actually, as we witness the whole crime story from the beginning. And its been a long time since i wanted for a bad guy to succeed. All in all this is an excellent movie.
