Kneeling, Hitchcock is too, "There is no perfect murder."

Margot and Mark cheated and thought Tony didn't know about it, but Tony already knew about it and planned to murder his wife, the first reversal.

Tony used Leith's greed for money and other unknown reasons to persuade him to kill his cheating wife. When he thought he had a well-thought-out plan, his wife had to go out on the night of the murder instead of staying at home. Leave the wife at home, the second reverse.

Tony calls home as planned, and Les tries to murder him, only to be stabbed to death by Margo with scissors on the table. The third inversion

Tony re-arranged the evidence after returning home, thinking that he could put the blame on his wife perfectly. The day before his wife's execution, her friend Mark came to him to convince Tony that the false testimony was actually a real experience. Tell Tony about the fourth inversion.

After the inspector arrived, all kinds of suspicions and inquiries made people feel that the inspector wanted to know the truth. At the same time, Mark also told the inspector what he thought was there. The inspector seemed to want to know the truth. However, the detective feigned disbelief and walked away. Fifth inversion

After a while, the inspector took out the key of the previously transferred bag and went in to check, then called Margo to ask what happened, and told the truth about the inspector's investigation. The conclusion is that Tony can find the key. Sixth inversion

Tony found that the key could not open the door, so he paused and thought a few times when he went out the door, all to whet the audience's appetite, and finally he took out the key under the carpet, and the truth came out!

The reversal again and again, the plot is compact and coherent, and it is unexpectedly being cleaned up! 666. Note: Xi Fat is in that photo.

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.
