Too much of everything

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Perfect plan and perfect execution by Tony Wendice but due to Swann panic his second plan also failed. Swann left key outside I mean after murdering Margot Swann had to come back from the door. He left key outside I don't think he could make such a small mistake but again no crime is perfect.Overall Perfect.

The filming in "Dial M for Murder" is done well, it expresses emotions and interactions between the characters. It is nice to see that the movie can keep its watchers engaged without having to change the set, aside from moving around in the Wendice's house. The casting is amazing, as the actors all do their parts flawlessly. The dialogue is probably my favorite part, because some of it is funny and some of it foreshadows, and it makes for a great plot. It's almost ironic that Mark partially uncovers what had happened, as he is a crime/detective writer. And even though Tony plans out everything, nobody can commit the perfect murder. 9/10

Although this film lacks the more cinematic qualities of some of Hitchcock's best work, it is a wonderfully twisty turny tale of murder and betrayal that kept me thrilled pretty much the whole time, even though the movie is mostly just people talking. It has solid performances and a gripping story. I would recommend this one especially if you like Hitchcock. You'll probably like it.

'Dial M for Murder' might not be one of Hitchcock's best known films, but it's still comfortably one of the best thrillers of its time. Whereas many modern day thrillers seem to compete for who has the most intricate and complex plot, this film thrives off its simplicity. Everything is clear and easy to follow from the first scene to the last and yet it's far more engaging and tense than anything I've watched recently from the present day.The film benefits three outstanding performances from Grace Kelly, Ray Milland and Robert Cummings as the main characters. They are all highly convincing and contribute a great deal to the film's success. The film is written in a way that the viewer is always second- guessing what will happen next and trying to get inside the mind of each of the characters. It's also perfectly paced, with each plot development timed for maximum impact and so that no scene is wasted. 'Dial M for Murder' is a clever and brilliantly written thriller and one of Hitchcock's must-see films.
