Favorite Hitchcock movie, bar none

For the super handsome male protagonist, but also to give a five-star. And the brain structure that can come up with a fairly perfect countermeasure in a short period of time after the plan has gone off track is amazing.
The fat old man plays the detective himself, which should be the film with the most lines.
The heroine and lover are so shameless, especially the lover. I can understand the original intention of the male pig to plan this perfect murder, and I am very sympathetic.
As for the defect, there are some problems with the clue of the key, the cash box should be placed in such an obvious place on the bed as the hair, so much cash, how good is a fire to burn... these can't stand the scrutiny of full fire, but it does not hinder at all The charm of this movie.

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!
