Review of Dial M for Murder (1954) by Martin T — 01 Jul 2008

Pretty much the entire film within the confines of the apartment, yet I was never bored. The cinematography is quite interesting-- Hitchcock often places household objects and furniture in the foreground, creating a border around the camera lens.

This effect, which was originally done because it debuted in 3D, makes you feel as though you're a 3rd person spectator amidst the characters.
