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.

    Before the reversal, many times he was anxious about what he should say for the "husband", and Hitchcock also deliberately arranged a few times or avoided or was interrupted to relieve the siege, making this worry even more urgent, until the "husband" was relieved. . After the reversal, the story's extremely detailed analysis of human nature and criminal mental activities is surprising and worthy of the masterpiece.

    Cool! This is called brain hole! Usually, a movie with a very innovative theme may not be called a brain-opening, at most it is a gimmick. Basically, the whole film was completed in one room, and the details were impeccable. It was all supported by the lines in the lines. I was both impressed by the hero's storytelling skills and wanted to see how he was arrested. . Hitchcock almost never disappoints me, but he can only watch one of his films a year, otherwise it's easy to die like a drug addict.

Dial M for Murder quotes

  • Margot Mary Wendice: Anyone would have realized he was dead. Just one look at those staring eyes...

    Chief Insp. Hubbard: So you did see his face, after all.

    Margot Mary Wendice: I saw his eyes! I can't remember his face!

  • 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.
