less than perfect murder

From a global perspective, the most important flaw is the key hidden under the carpet on the floor? Tony ignored his instinct and thought that the killer would hold the key until the moment he left, so instead of checking it when he got home, he put the killer's key in his wife's bag.

But from a local point of view, this film also has many unrealistic

1. The husband put the key so deliberately, and the other two people didn't notice it?

2. The detective's coat is the same as her husband's, but I didn't notice it?

3. The key? It should be different.

4. The smell of burning scarves should be more choking.

I have to say that the script of this old movie is quite good, and the constant reversal is very exciting, but the detective has always suspected that her husband felt that the intensity of the reversal has been greatly weakened, making people feel that the result is known and the process is pushed forward.

    Revisit, 4 and a half stars. The murder plan was perfect, and the process of solving the case was too far-fetched.

    The movie is very exciting. The male protagonist is clever and misunderstood. He can meet a pig teammate. All kinds of high IQ matchups are particularly cool, but the ending is unpleasant. It does not mean that you must let this scum The male wins, although this kind of phoenix male wants to kill his wife, he must be damned, but is it right for an adulterer to be together happily? My wife takes the mistress at home openly and honestly every day, and the mistress is righteous and makes the male protagonist carry the bag. I don’t know what this movie wants to express.

Dial M for Murder quotes

  • Tony Wendice: What makes you think he came in by this door?

    Chief Insp. Hubbard: His shoes.

    Tony Wendice: His shoes?

    Chief Insp. Hubbard: The ground was soaking wet last night. If he'd come in by the garden, he'd have left mud all over the carpet. As it is, he didn't leave any marks at all, because he wiped his shoes on the front doormat.

    Tony Wendice: How can you tell?

    Chief Insp. Hubbard: It's a fairly new mat, and some of its fibers came off on his shoes.

    Tony Wendice: Oh, but surely...

    Chief Insp. Hubbard: And there was a small tar stain on the mat, and some of the fibers show that as well. There is no question about it.

  • Chief Insp. Hubbard: There is evidence however that he was blackmailing you.

    Tony Wendice: Blackmail?

    Mark Halliday: Yes, I'm afraid it's true, Tony.

    Chief Insp. Hubbard: And you suggest that he came in by the window. And we know that he came in by that door.

    Margot Mary Wendice: But he can't have come in that way. That door was locked. And there are only two keys. My husband had his with him, and mine was in my handbag. Here.

    Chief Insp. Hubbard: You could have let him in.
