Review of Dial M for Murder (1981) by Sabra E — 15 Apr 2011

Is the ex pro jock/amateur murder conspirator going to get away with the complicated web he's weaved including one part blackmail and a healthy dollop of deception? This is the compelling question which makes this classic film a stand-out in Hitchcock's arsenal of suspense and drama.

Who's wrong? Who's wronger? The adulteress? The jilted, money hungry husband? What would you do if you found out your spouse had been cheating on you for many years and decided to bring that person into your home as an old friend?

As you can see the themes in this film are just as provocative almost 60 years later; time tested, and quality approved.
