key

I have to mention that the IQ of the male protagonist is really too high. It is useless to send threatening letters after knowing that his wife is cheating. He planned to murder his wife very early, and he did not use his own hands, but the hands of others who dared to seize others. The handle, borrowing others to kill his wife. Throughout the movie, you can see that he is very strict in his work. The most impressive thing is that when he talks to the hired killer, he wipes every place the killer touches in the room, and he does not let the killer touch his bill, so as not to have any problems. Fingerprint generation (there is a bug here, I don't know why the fingerprint of the whole movie is not useful for solving the case, I don't know if the screenwriter forgot or what). I have to mention his most clever and ingenious thing: the ingenious key stalk.

I think the stalk of the key is the core of the whole movie. The smartest part of the male protagonist is here, but losing is also losing here. It is really the core of solving the case! The hero only has two keys (one for him and one for the heroine), he took the opportunity to steal the heroine's key too, and put it on the stairs outside ahead of time. He had already discussed with the killer and asked him to take this key secretly. Break in, wait for the opportunity, and kill the heroine when he calls. What a clever way to kill. However, it would be great if the plot was really that simple. It can only be said that the male protagonist never expected the killer to fail, and the female protagonist killed the killer instead (I really want to complain about this killer, such a waste, kill every woman. If he didn't die, he was killed by a woman, but if he didn't die, there would be no exciting plot behind him). After the murder failed, the male protagonist did not panic, but behaved more rationally. After appeasing the female protagonist, he began to create false evidence to prove that the female protagonist deliberately killed the killer. Here comes the key stalk again, he took out the key from the killer and put it back in the hostess bag, so that the police thought it was the hostess who let the killer in, this is the only way to get in (because the window is closed, it can only be accessed from the front door Enter). Unexpectedly, in fact, the killer put the key back long ago, and the key that the male protagonist took out was the killer's own. It is not so much that the male protagonist lost to the detective, but he lost to himself. The male protagonist is really thinking It's too meticulous (there are actually a lot of male lead fingerprints left here, which are not mentioned later). Then came the threatening letter. The male protagonist deliberately put the threatening letter in the killer's bag, which made the police think that the killer came to take the letter to intimidate the female protagonist. The female protagonist killed him in a fit of rage. How clever! Putting a silk scarf at the back even gave false evidence to the heroine who killed the killer. If there was no detective at the back, the heroine would definitely die! Finally, I want to say that the female protagonist has an affair, and the male protagonist will murder him, which is still a bit cruel.

    Ahhhhhh, it's so pretty! So fucking good looking! Hearty, made my day

    Imperfect murder, but almost perfect suspense, the third key is the center point. The last paragraph of the sheriff's decryption is a bit procrastinated and cryptic. After 60 years, movies that still make people watch completely into the plot and unable to extricate themselves have to be served with five stars.

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.
