Three doubts and opinions after reading it once

(You can start watching at 1 hour and 18 minutes) 1. After the case, the husband spent cash frantically, spending 1 pound 1 pound, and lost more than 300 yuan. I think this is the most crucial point, because the detective here is suspicious. By cash, I can check it out, the detective is awesome, and why does my husband have to spend it so abnormally? ! Tell everyone this is stolen money? 2. The self-confidence of the detective, let's add the rhythm, I'm off the show. I saw the account through normal means, but didn't turn it over. After the husband made a stupid act, the detective took his wife's key and went in to turn over the bill. (1 hour 36 minutes and a half). Flip around the door to find a key, not difficult, I understand. But I always felt something was wrong. 3. The husband is indeed vicious, killing his wife to take the inheritance. I know that the performance of literary and artistic works cannot be used to measure the moral standard in life. When it comes to such adulterers and prostitutes, seeing their happy ending, I still can't let go. ————————————

(At point 2, I struggled to watch the clip over and over again. It turned out that it made sense, unless the heroine Margo deliberately didn’t open the door. Then I thought about it, it was the day before the death penalty, and I was called back without any warning, so there weren’t that many. Designed. Although there may also be a possibility of "anyway, they will die anyway, pretend they want to do what they want to do", but for the film, it is not interesting or even more ridiculous.

There are only 1 or 3 points left. I read other comments on the 3rd point, and I also found and thought that it was a deliberate pit created by the creator to make the audience feel sympathetic, so everyone began to expect this perfect murder of her husband, not because of To kill a good person and worry about "her", because of the problem of the wife's personality, the expectations of our audience actually promoted the plot here. I jumped out of the plot expression itself and began to admire this kind of thinking. There are many "little routines" in the movie, which will be revisited in the future.

Point 1 is still in doubt. - The above was recorded on the same day)

    Adulterers are too unlovable. . . Very sympathetic to the hero. . .

    Before the reversal, many times he was anxious about what he should say for the "husband", and Hitchcock also deliberately arranged a few times or avoided or was interrupted to relieve the siege, making this worry even more urgent, until the "husband" was relieved. . After the reversal, the story's extremely detailed analysis of human nature and criminal mental activities is surprising and worthy of the masterpiece.

Dial M for Murder quotes

  • Chief Insp. Hubbard: Sooner or later, he'll come back here. As I've pinched his latch key, he'll try the one in the handbag. When that doesn't fit, he'll realize his mistake, put two and two together, and look under the stair carpet.

    Mark Halliday: If he doesn't do that, all of this is pure guess work. We can't prove a thing.

    Chief Insp. Hubbard: That's perfectly true. But once he opens that door, we shall know everything.

  • 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.
