    Hitchcock did not try very hard to adapt this highly commercial play for the cinema, nor did he exploit the possibilities of 3-D. But for a one-room film with a not very exciting cast the film holds its grip pretty well.

    My All Time Favourite Hitchcock Film

    What an absolute stormer of a thriller. From start to finnish I was hooked on this film. I remember seeing this as a young man and being spellbound by the actors brilliant portrayal of the characters. Ray Milland is the real star of this murder mystery. The thought put into the murder actaully makes you want him to get away with it. Grace Kelly plays a woman trapped in a web of her husbands lies extremely well (why anyone married to Grace Kelly would want to have her killed is beyond me). This was originally a 3D movie (as the extras will tell you) but transfers so well.

    If you like you murder mysteries (Poirot, Ms Marple, Midsommer Murder, Jonathan Creek etc) you will adore this film.

    HITCHCOCK SUSPENCE

    DIAL M FOR MURDER was filmed in 3D, but very few cinemas showed it in 3d. If you have colorcode 3d or Tridef 3d installed on your pc, the effects add to the enjoyment of the film. As the present 3d conversion is done from a single image,the famous scene with the hand, does not project much out of the screen, but the depth is very good.
