Dial M for Murder (1954)
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Ray Milland as Tony Wendice
Grace Kelly as Margot Mary Wendice
Robert Cummings as Mark Halliday
John Williams as Inspector Hubbard
"There is no perfect crime"
I must admit I have become a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock after watching this classic movie. Although he has a lot of classic film to his credit, this film will be one of the best because of the great screenplay and the story and the dialogues so gripping that you will get any time to wink. There is superb performance by the whole starcast.
"There is no perfect crime" is the stroryline of the film. The film is about Ex professional tennis player Tony Wendice & his wealthy wife Margot Mary Wendice. Things seems all fine. But Margot Wendis had a love affair with the American Crime writer Mark Halliday. They both have been exchanging letters all but one letter has been destroyed but someone is blackmailing Margot for that letter.
The storyline came into a twist when Tony Wendice hires/blackmails one of his seniors from college and a petty criminal to murder his wife. will he be able to kill Margot will the Dial m will be successful ? or is there some surprise element is there, I won't reveal the story. The movie and screenplay is very gripping. watch it to find out Hitchcock's brilliance.
My rating 8.6 out of 10
