"Telephone Murder" is a classic, but Hitchcock’s hypocrisy lies in his portraying a couple of dog men and women who engage in extramarital affairs (the dog girl is his favorite Grace Kelly) into innocence and letting them Eventually married, and the husband played by the personable Ray Mirand is a complete conspirator, and will not get sympathy if exposed.
Remake into this "Super Perfect Murder", the hypocrisy has been greatly corrected, and these three actors are all I like very much. The roles of Douglas (black-bellied celebrity) and Gwen (innocent fragile bitch) are in line with their usual temperament, and Vigo Mortensen can't find it a bit. In addition, David Suchet, who had already begun to play Poirot at the time, played the policeman. But the script got out of control in the second half, and the plot of marriage dog blood continued. More importantly, the original film has a quaint delicacy. The director leads the audience to experience the fun of solving puzzles. The remake is a reversal of the director instilled in the audience without credibility, just like a science fiction film. The policeman in Suchet has no function at all.
Speaking of the core of the trick-the key, the protagonist couple and the hired killer in the original film live in ordinary houses, with the same type of door, the same type of lock, and the same type of key, which is reasonable. In the remake, the protagonist couple lives in a rich mansion and the killer lives in a slum. How can the two keys look the same and be confused? Can't stand scrutiny.
