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!

Dial M for Murder quotes

  • Tony Wendice: [on the phone to a lawyer] We had a burglary last night, and Margot was attacked. No, she's all right. But the man was killed, and the police are here now. And don't laugh... they're suggesting that Margot killed him intentionally!

    Chief Insp. Hubbard: [interrupting Tony] I wouldn't say that if I were you, sir.

  • Mark Halliday: When did you find out, sir?

    Chief Insp. Hubbard: Well, the first clue came quite by accident.

    [to Margot]

    Chief Insp. Hubbard: We discovered that your husband had been spending a large number of pound notes all over the place - it ran into over three hundred pounds - and it appeared to have started at about the time you were arrested. Now, I had to find out where he got that money, and how. Then I remembered that after you were arrested we searched this flat, and I saw a copy of his bank statement in that desk. So yesterday afternoon, I went to the prison and asked to see your handbag. While I was doing this, I managed to lift your latchkey. Highly irregular, of course, but my blood was up. And then this morning when your husband was out, I came back here to look at his statement. I never saw it... because I never got through that door. You see, the key that I'd taken from your handbag didn't fit the lock!
