"In stories, things usually turn out the way the author wants them to. And in real life they don't... always."

That trifecta of direction, acting and script in Hitchcock's film is nigh perfect, much like the murder it portays. This film holds a weird kind of suspense. It's not the edge of your seat stuff or the oppressive terror of psychological thrillers. It is the suspense of…
DirkHMay 11, 2020How considerate of Hitchcock, giving an intermission to a 1:45 long movie.

grace kelly my beloved
Edward Kronkvist likedDial M for MurderI just love old movie and of course films made by the master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock. This is a premise I have never seen in a film before. It’s like a murder mystery but still not. Also try to look after Hitchcocks cameo wish is pretty unique from all his other ones.
Mickerdoo lovedDial M for MurderDelightfully complex and well thought out. RM and JW have stand out performances. Can you blame him?
- Stefan is "meh" onDial M for Murder
This was my first Hitchcock movie and honestly, for a director called “the Master of Suspense”, this movie felt lacking in suspense. Where it could’ve a psychological study of the mind of a murderer, or a whodunnit?, it was more just watching a man trying to cover up his tracks.
Platypus Lord likedDial M for MurderVery solid Hitchcock flick. My enjoyment levels are biased against stories revolving around infidelity, so that holds it back, but the story is interesting as a whole, and the tension is as expertly executed as you'd expect from the Master. Grace Kelly is always a major plus.
hannah lovedDial M for Murderat least when women try and kill their husbands, they have more of a reason than “i’m a washed up old tennis player, and i don’t know why she cheated on me with someone that actually respects her” 8/10
- Ellie is "meh" onDial M for Murder
not gonna lie, i was busy and didn’t pay attention to the second half. it wasn’t bad but i hated that margot wasn’t a more involved character
CvptvinHowdy likedDial M for MurderMy first watch of the new year, and a fantastic one! Hitchcock never fails at building suspense and always keeps you invested in the story.
Shea Wilkinson lovedDial M for Murderwow… just wow. yk i always thought like “how good could hitchcock be in comparison to some of the movies made today” bro i was so wrong

The screenplay tends to constrain rather than liberate Hitchcock's thematic thrust, but there is much of technical value in his geometric survey of the scene and the elaborate strategies employed to transfer audience sympathy among the four main characters.
