Product Description

From Amazon.com

A suave tennis player (Ray Milland) plots the perfect murder, the dispatching of his wealthy wife (Grace Kelly), who is having an affair with a writer (Robert Cummings). Amazingly, the wife manages to stave off her attacker, a twist of fate that challenges the hubby's talent for improvisation. Alfred Hitchcock wisely stuck to the stage origins of Dial M for Murder, ignoring the temptation to "open up" the material from the home of the unhappy couple. The result may not be one of Hitchcock's deepest films, but it's a thoroughly engaging chamber movie. It also features Grace Kelly at her loveliest, the same year she made Rear Window with Hitchcock. Dial M for Murder was filmed in the briefly trendy 3-D process, and Hitchcock shot some scenes to bring out the depth of the 3-D field; it's especially good for the nail-biting attempted murder of Kelly, and her desperate reach for a pair of scissors that seems to be just outside her grasp. However, the film was rarely shown with the proper 3-D projection, going out "flat" instead (a 1980 reissue restored the process for a limited theatrical release). Dial M was remade in 1998 as A Perfect Murder, a film that changed and expanded the material, with no improvement on the clean, witty original. --Robert Horton

By A Customer

This review is from: Dial M for Murder (DVD)

I have been one of the many people who have sent in, demanding that this DVD be released and now it is! This is a great Hitchcock thriller and most of his films are on DVD, so why not this one. At Last!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting movie!, Jun 27 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Dial M for Murder (DVD)

This is a great Alfred Hitchcock movie. It's one that is even better the second time you see it.

Now, about the DVD, does anyone know what the difference is between this one, and the other "Dial M for Murder" DVD that isn't released yet?? I was confused by that...

Please respond if you can help!

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dial M for Murder (VHS Tape)

I can't remember the storyline from 'Dial M for Murder' too much, but I do remember liking it. Once again, the master filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock manages to make a fantastic film from a limited story setting.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favourite movies ever
This movie made me a Hitchcock fan. I never tire of watching it. This is Grace Kelly at the height of her career. Excellent movie.
