A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

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 "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.

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.

As a film fan who has always had a limited movie preference of Hollywood movies from the 80s to today, iv'e recently decided to expand my movie viewing horizons and try to watch different films, example, foreign movies and old movies like this. I rented and just finished streaming Dial M For Murder on Amazon Prime Video for the first time and am very impressed with this movie, it is very good, well-acted and the story is brilliant. Most of the film is set in a small flat, but the flick still manages to be gripping.The film score is dramatically perfect for every scene, the attack/attempted murder scene was disturbing, but thank God it wasn't that long. As soon as this movie starts it gets straight to the point, this is one of the major differences between movies back then and movies of today, even though the plot is explained - most movies today take their time telling the story, they show the characters meeting for the first time, dating, then getting married e.c.t. But these old movies just cut straight to the chase. I didn't hear any swear words or profanity in this cine and it was still a great film. Obviously movie-makers of today still watch these old films due to references and remakes, they are obviously inspired by these old movies, but why not take being inspired one step further and exclude blasphemous words and curse words?! Obviously films today add swearing in a lot of dialogue because society has changed and the majority of people swear in their vocabulary in everyday life, but it would still be good if movies banned swearing, it would make films overall even better.Dial M For Murder is a must-watch, it's very suspenseful, i enjoyed it. Not all of Alfred Hitchcock's movies look appealing, in my book, but i will continue to look through his filmography because there are probably some more really good films like this one.
