Review of Dial M for Murder (1981) by John M — 03 Aug 2012
The only positive about having the flu was falling asleep and then waking up to find that "Dial M for Murder" was coming on at 11pm. I haven't seen this movie in years, and it didn't disappoint me.
Ray Milland always seems to be in command in any role. Hitchcock knew exactly how to present/direct Grace Kelly... Wow! I can't imagine the movie without her. Anthony Dawson was perfectly cast as the captain.
But my biggest disappointment was Robert Cummings. I feel that he was miscast. Why would Grace Kelly have an affair with Robert Cummings?!? I'm not buying it! But other than that the script and acting made up for the miscast.
Wonderful movie!
