Movie Description
Alfred Hitchcock had already begun work on REAR WINDOW when he took on the project to direct DIAL M FOR MURDER, based on the successful play by Frederick Knott. For the film, Hitchcock chose to cast his favorite leading lady of the time, Grace Kelly, as the embattled Margot Wendice. Kelly would also star in REAR WINDOW and Hitchcock's subsequent TO CATCH A THIEF. It wasn't Hitchcock's preference to shoot DIAL M FOR MURDER in Warnercolor 3D (the cameras were large and unwieldly), and the film is seldom screened in 3D, but Hitchcock's use of the technique is notable for its service to the story rather than just being a gimmick. In the film Margot Wendice is a wealthy heiress whose playboy husband, Tony (Ray Milland), recognizes his dependence on his wife's fortune. When Tony begins to suspect he is losing Margot's affection to writer Mark Halliday (Robert Cummings), he also begins to fear he will lose her wealth. This leads the callous husband to craft a plan for his wife's death. However, when the plan goes awry, Tony is quick to turn circumstance into a second opportunity to destroy his wife.

Editorial Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - Bill Stamets (05/19/2000)

"Well-acted, un-stagy and with a huge third-act boost from John Williams..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (09/10/2004)

    I am not what you would call a movie buff. In fact, I have really been disappointed by many movies recently...hype, hype, hype! All the best bits of the movie are shown in the commercials with nothing original and funny left to go and see. I also am a bit critical of 'older' movies...the audiences back then just weren't as sophisticated as today, and of course, how could special effects of 50 + years ago compare to computer graphics?

    Well, I recently watched the movie DIAL M FOR MURDER. I didn't know it was a Hitchcock. I didn't know of the "big name" stars in it. I just watched it, and honestly, didn't expect a lot. Boy, was I excited by what I saw!!!

    The movie starts off fast...there's a wife who has an affair with another man. While she's away, her husband recruits an old acquaintance and blackmails him into accepting a simple assignment - to kill his wife. Simple, as loving hubby has spent a year planning every last detail. But when things go wrong, hubby has to figure out a way to turn the events around so that he still comes out looking innocent. The movie is divided into 2 parts...Before (the crime) and After. Many people like the second part better (when the Inspector becomes a main character) but I thought both parts were equally riveting. While a bit unbelievable (I hope), it is conceivable, and really...it's presented so well that you're swept along for the suspenseful ride.

    I did not know that, originally, this was filmed in 3-D (a movie gimmick to lure TV watchers back into theaters). Once you know that, you can see how certain shots would have been very effective with that effect...it doesn't really change how you'd watch the movie, but the added knowledge makes you appreciate it more. I learned this info (and much more) from the very informative EXTRAS that were included on the DVD. I enjoyed them almost as much as the movie itself).

    Before I saw this movie, all I knew about it was that it was a Hitchcock murder mystery (not my favorite kind of movie) and I can still hear actor Phil Hartman (as Troy McClure) making reference to it as "Dial M for Murderessness", in a Simpsons spoof. Now I am anxious to see the movie again, as my eyes have been opened to a whole 'lost' era of movies.

    There's lots of action, suspense, romance...to use a cliche, it's a "roller coaster ride" of excitement! I was so into this movie and I couldn't believe it. I really enjoyed it, and I wanted to let others know that just because a movie is "old" and the stars in it may have passed on before you were even born, that does not mean that you should miss the movie.
