Dial M for Murder (1954)

 

A Good Crime Thriller

Pretty neat Hitchcock crime thriller. Great casting, directing as good as you'd want from Hitchcock, interesting story.

Ray Milland is Tony Wendice, a man who is calmly angry that his wife, Margot (Grace Kelly), is seeing another man, Mark Halliday (Robert Cummings). Tony blackmails an old acquaintance, Charles Swann (Anthony Dawson), into killing his wife. The murder is botched and that's where the story becomes a good crime-thriller.

Well worth watching if you like film noir, crime-thrillers or Hitchcock's suspense. This film would pair well with 'Rear Window' or 'North by Northwest'.

Good movie.

9/10
