Dial M For Murder (1954)
Starring: Ray Milland, Grace Kelly, Robert Cummings
Runtime: 105 minutes
British tennis pro Ray
Milland suspects that his wealthy wife Grace Kelly is fooling around with
handsome American Robert Cummings. Milland blackmails a disgraced former
army comrade (Anthony Dawson) into murdering Kelly and making it look like
the work of a burglar. But Milland's carefully mapped-out scheme does not
take into account the notion that Kelly might fight back and kill her
assailant. When the police (represented by John Williams) investigate,
Milland improvises quickly, subtly planting the suggestion that his wife has
committed first-degree murder.
He almost gets away with it; to tell you more would spoil the fun of the
film's final thirty minutes. Hitchcock claimed that he chose this single-set
play because he was worn out from several earlier, more ambitious projects,
and wanted to 'recharge his batteries.' Compelled by Warner Bros. to film
Dial M for Murder in 3-D, Hitchcock perversely refused to throw in the
standard in-your-face gimmickry of most stereoscopic films of the
era--though watch how he visually emphasizes an important piece of evidence
towards the end of the film
