Movie Reviews of Dial M for Murder

Movie Review: Suprising!
Summary: 5 Stars

What a great Hitchcock film. This movie shows you the plotting of a murder, but then what happens when things don't go as planned? It keeps you on the edge of your seat. Just when you think you know what will happen you get suprised again and then things are reviewed from an entirely different angle. Great twist at the end. And, of course there is always Grace Kelly too. Who doesn't think she's lovely to watch? She's SO beautiful. This is a great movie. I recorded it on TV kind of randomly but I am so happy I saw this film.

Movie Review: Dial M for Murder
Summary: 5 Stars

Re-made several times, (most recently as "A Perfect Murder" with Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow), the original has never been surpassed. The casting is inspired, with Milland the essence of oily smugness as Tony, and Williams blandly British as Hubbard. Hunter and quarry thus play off each other perfectly. And then there's the lady who causes all the fuss: Grace Kelly, in her first of three roles for Hitchcock. She is beautiful as always, so that the very concept of doing away with her seems particularly outrageous.

Movie Review: Cosy theatrical thriller
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a highly intreging, cleaverly constructed thriller with fantastic, sometimes sinister performances from all 3 central players. (Grace Kelly is stunning as well as exuding a sultry innocence). The fact that it mostly takes place in one indoor location does not matter to me but the lack of action may not appeal to some. The film relies on intense, absorbing script which works on all levels and is thoroughly entertaining.
Hitchcock at his 1950s best!

Movie Review: Good Old Murder-Mystery
Summary: 5 Stars

Recently I have noticed that I enjoy the older movies. I bought Dial M for Murder because I had heard how good it was. The comparisons between the plot of that murder mystery and the typical murder mystery of today is that this one was a little less predictable. As the story evolves you have an idea what is going to happen, but it still keeps you on the edge of your seat, until it actually happens. Definitely worth adding to your collection.

Movie Review: The quintessential psychological thriller
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is a rare treat, and one worth the time to whoever gets the chance to check it out. Hitchcock at his best here, making the most of a story which was originally intended for the stage. The plot is mezmerizing as it unfolds, and the believeablility of the actors' performances are on mark all the way. This is a film I have checked every video store for, and am happy that amazon.com has made it available. An absolute classic!
