The angle is novel and the plot is reasonable. Although there are some fly in the ointment, it is still a masterpiece

Another story about writing short reviews and writing enough. .

(This comment may contain spoilers) I personally think it is a very good suspense film, and I have watched it twice now hahaha. The director told the audience about the murderer from the beginning, and then gradually let the development of things out of the control of the protagonist.

In fact, from the point of view of the movie, it is inevitable to get out of control, otherwise it will not be so interesting hhh. It is also reasonable to set the key point on the key. The fly in the ointment may be the movie's later neglect of fingerprints (this has also been discussed in other movie reviews, so I won't repeat it here), and the promotion of the movie's theme - after all, most people probably still don't want their wives to cheat and finally reconcile with the mistress Beautiful, right hahahaha. The exact same jacket is indeed a bit awkward. . Maybe in that era, everyone didn't have so many choices in dressing, and it was easy to bump into shirts hhh?

The heroine later became a princess in reality, which is really beautiful. The male protagonist really chose the pig teammate. . What weapon to choose is not a good choice for stockings. . Aren't scissors just at your fingertips? . Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, but as far as this murder is concerned, it will be a pity from the perspective of the male protagonist. After all, if the two of them communicated the details of the crime in detail, they might have succeeded? . It can be seen from this that maybe Harvard (I think this is the school where the male protagonist graduated?) may not necessarily produce high-IQ talents hahahaha? .

The dialogue at the beginning of the movie may be boring to many people, but I think that part is mainly to highlight the meticulousness of the male protagonist and explain the cause of the incident and the motive of the male protagonist to kill. Anyway, stick to it, I personally think that everyone should not be too disappointed hahahaha.

Hitchcock is excellent!

    Near-perfect criminal planning and planting! The reason for the failure of the criminal plan is, as the author Mark said, "the plan can't keep up with the changes"; the planting ultimately fails because no matter how smart people are, there are always omissions. The atmosphere is very well created and the clue "Key" is really unexpected. The only small flaw is that there are too many words, especially the foreshadowing of the first half. The heroine who doesn't like extramarital affairs, sympathizes with her husband Tony, and almost succeeded.

    Although a few details may be rough due to the age, the whole story is perfect from the current perspective. This is the master. The technique of the last half hour has been imitated by many directors, but it has never been surpassed.

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.
