Review of Dial M for Murder (1981) by Nicola D — 21 Aug 2012

I think sometimes Hitchcock was a little bit overestimated. Here's the case. I found this movie a little too slow, considering the plot. Yet, it must be remarked that this movie is actually set in a closed room, as the rear window.

But here the camera moves sometimes outside the room: in the hallway, the stairs, on the street outside. The film was disappointing to me, but maybe it was my fault. It was the only Hitchcock movie I've seen that I didn't fully appreciate.

My bad, Mr. Hitchcock.
