Most helpful review Dial M for Murder

  • My All Time Favourite Hitchcock Film

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer from Derby, England , 14 Sep 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    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.

    Fantastic story telling from the best director. Watched this many times and it is still new and fresh, great performances, creepy and full of suspense. Recommend.

    It's a Corker! Fans of Agatha Christie will love it. It seems wrong to say that but comparing it to modern remake of a Poirot will get it a new audience.

  • Interesting in 3D

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By CelticDave (2 reviews) from Leicester , 06 Mar 2013
    I was intrigued when I'd heard Hitchcock originally shot his in 3D so I thought I'd give it a go. The 3D is carefully thought through and works well adding to the claustrophobic atmosphere of the setting. Maybe not Hitchcock's greatest film but a well written, well acted tense murder-mystery nonetheless.

  • Another Great Hitchcock Thriller

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    A great story line well worth watching and had me guessing until the very end as to whether justice would prevail. A great Hitchcock tribute.

  • Cat and Mouse

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By steamRobot (3 reviews) , 05 Feb 2013
    Excellent thriller from Hitchcock with a wonderful game of cat and mouse between Wendice and Hubbard. The opening is particularly strong. It's also good to see the intermission card in its place.
