Review of Dial M for Murder (1954) by Charlotte T — 27 Nov 2008
Classic Hitchcock. Set in London, Ray Milland plots to have his wife, Grace Kelly, bumped off after discovering her affair. The hit man is being blackmailed by Milland and although meticulously planned, the murder goes wrong and the killer ends up the victim.
Some deft covering by Milland leads the police to believe that Kelly murdered the hitman and she's sentenced to hang, much to Milland's delight. He doesn't take account, however, of a dogged policeman who unravels Milland's plans.
A great film, taught and exciting, with evil villains and a beautiful heroine. Great stuff!
