Summary: Dial M for Murder
Review: It seems that one never tires of this film. It is just so entertaining. The script, the dialog, the acting, the sets, the colors, the editing, Dimitri Tiomkin's score and Alfred Hitchcock's suspenseful direction in the confined set all congeal into a now classic film (even though Hitchcock somewhat played down the importance of this film in his list of directorial achievements). This VHS copy looks much better than earlier releases of this title.

Summary: DVD in 3D please...
Review: I finally found this at the video store last night. An excellent movie...very well paced, and keeps your interest right from the onset. Grace Kelly is amazing as always, as is the rest of the cast. Hopefully, when the DVD comes out, it will include the 3-D version of this classic! Comparing it to other Hitchcock films, it has to rank among the top ones...however, it is hard to find a bad Hitchcock film (except "the Trouble with Harry"!)

Summary: Leave Your Brain At The door
Review: This Hitchcock has always intriged me for several reasons. The way He fit all the pieces of this complex mystery so perfectly in place IS kind of hillarious, however, the aspect of this film that most overlook is the rich, luscious color! Look closely at the texture of of the hues! This puppy is a beauty!

Summary: One of Hichcocks best
Review: I finally saw this movie and loved it. It reminded me a lot of Rear Window in set up and characterization, but a totally different story.A man plans a perfect murder with a perfect alibi which goes off less than perfect the main character then tries to convert the perfect murder into the perfect frame up. Grace Kelly is fantasitc in her role as the murders wife. I see why Hichcock loved to work with her.

Summary: One of the best Hitch
Review: Although reviews tend to vary on this movie, I think it is one of Hitchcocks 10 best. Although the movie does not have as much mystery, suspense, or action as many of Hitch's other films, it does feature terrific acting, a good plot, and great direction, editing, and cinematography. Ray Milland and Grace Kelly put in terrific performances. Milland puts in such a good performance that you almost find yourself rooting for him to get away with his crime. I thought Robert Cummings was just average, but the role of the Inspector is one of the better supporting characters in any Hitch film. The ending, while not as famous as those in North by Northwest or Strangers on a Train, is so casual that I think it ranks as one of the best, if not the best, of all Hitch endings.

Summary: Not One Of Hitch's Best...
Review: Tennis-playing husband has plans to murder his wife after suspecting of her having an affair with another man. Hitchcock was aiming at something a little different here but only halfway succeeded with mostly predictable outcomes and odd stagy dialogue. Grace Kelly fares best as a frantic spouse.

Summary: A lesser known Hitchock that can surprise.......
Review: I love "Rear Window" and "To Catch A Thief," which are two of the three movies that Grace Kelly and Alfred Hitchock collaborated on. But I had always heard "Dial M For Murder," the first of the three Grace starred in for the director, was a dissapointing film, so it took a long time for me to get around to watch it. I finally rented it a few months ago, and WOW! I find it's a great film, and I loved it! Grace was beautiful as always, and Ray Milland did an excellent job as the "villain" of the film. The plot was engrossing, and did I mention Grace Kelly was beautiful? But be warned, "Murder" is a psychological mystery, and a dialogue movie. It has little action, other than the murder attempt itself. So if you are looking for a typical twisty, sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat Hitchock suspense film, its probably best that you look for "Vertigo," "Rear Window" or "North by Northwest" instead. But give "Dial M For Murder" a chance, and be ready to enjoy a great film, definitely deserving of a five star rating!

Summary: It Was Okay
Review: Dial M for Murder was an okay movie, but not the best Alfred Hitchcock movie. I thought that the plot was very creative, and the actors were wonderful. But, it kind of got boring in a couple of parts. But it's still a pretty good movie.
