Description

Originally shot in 3D and restored for Blu-Ray 3D, Alfred Hitchcock's screen version of Frederick Knott's stage hit Dial M for Murder is a tasty blend of elegance and suspense, casting Grace Kelly, Ray Milland and Robert Cummings as the points of a romantic triangle. Kelly won the New York Film Critics and National Board of Review Best Actress Awards for this and two other acclaimed 1954 performances (Hitchcock's Rear Window and her Oscar-honored work in The Country Girl). She loves Cummings; her husband Milland plots her murder. But when he dials a Mayfair exchange to set the plot in motion, his right number gets the wrong answer - and gleaming scissors become a deadly weapon. Dial "M" for the Master of Suspense at his most stylish.

Dial "F" for Five Stars!
Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder (1954) (Released: 2004 by Warner Home Video) Another (Not so long, this time!) DVD Review by Joe Torcivia "When the batteries are running dry, take a hit play and shoot it." With his typical understatement, director Alfred Hitchcock describes his efforts on another masterpiece, "Dial M for Murder", adapted from a famous stage play by author Fredrick Knott. In it, husband Ray Milland plots the murder of wife Grace Kelly - who is having an affair with American mystery writer Robert Cummings. Milland meticulously plans his crime to the finest detail, only to find that the best laid plans of mice and Millands often go astray. No more, lest we venture into "Spoiler Territory". Despite the "star power" of its leads, the film is stolen by John Williams as Chief Inspector Hubbard, who cracks the case almost in the manner of a "British Columbo". Williams, who made a career of playing "stuffy old Englishmen", was something of a regular on the ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS television program - appearing in 10 episodes of the show! In an ironic casting twist, Williams went from trapping a "wife murderer", to planning such a murder himself in the HITCHCOCK PRESENTS episode "The Three Dreams of Mr. Findlater" (1957). There, it is WILLIAMS' character who works out every deadly detail and somewhat ineptly attempts to carry out his scheme - with the assistance and urging of an attractive "island girl" who is the product of his daydreams. Given the involvement of John Williams, and the fact that it was produced a scant three years after "Dial M for Murder", I would strongly suspect that "The Three Dreams of Mr. Findlater" was in some way inspired by the film. As is our custom in these reviews, we'll break it into CONS and PROS. The CONS: If there were a "CON" to list, it would have to be that the Extra Features are adequate, but not plentiful, given this is a famous film by a legendary director. Most notably, there is NO COMMENTARY TRACK to accompany this film! Surely, there are film historians and Hitchcock scholars capable of providing such a track. The PROS: The Film: Story, cast, and direction are all first rate. Print quality seems fine for a film of its age. Menu Navigation: Menus are attractive and easy to navigate, with the "added fun" of depicting the "cursor", used to select the various options, as a PAIR OF SCISSORS! Those familiar with the film cannot help but smile at this little touch. Extra Features: "Hitchcock and Dial M" (Runs 21:33). A "making of" documentary, that nicely covers the film, given the lack of a true commentary track. Participants include: Peter Bogdonovich, M. Night Shyamalan, Patricia Hitchcock (Alfred's daughter), Robert Osborne, Nat Benchley, Richard Franklin, and Richard Schickel. Oddly, it is the relative "youngster" Shyamalan who makes the most interesting and enthusiastic comments of the group. "3D: A Brief History" (Runs 7:06). To compete with the emerging medium of television, the makers and distributors of theatrical features offered color, widescreen/Cinemascope... and for a brief time in the mid-fifties "Three Dimensional Films". Unbeknownst to me until viewing this feature, "Dial M for Murder" WAS released as a 3D film! Watching the film WITH this knowledge, it becomes very clear. "Dial M for Murder" is shot in an unusual way (...which I merely attributed to the directorial quirks of "Hitchcock being Hitchcock"), where certain objects and characters exist in the EXTREME FOREGROUND, in comparison with the rest of the frame. This technique is particularly apparent in the "attempted murder of Grace Kelly" scene. Both Kelly's arm and the aforementioned "pair of scissors" are intentionally "thrown back" toward the audience to maximize the effect. Again, I thought this was just the director's flair. It must have been great fun to see that way! At the 54:05 point of the film's length of 1:45:16, there occurs an INTERMISSION - punctuated with the on-screen image of a TITLE CARD simply saying "Intermission". I naturally thought that this was in keeping with "Dial M for Murder's" origins as a STAGE PLAY. In fact, it was because the 3D effect required TWO PROJECTORS, playing two slightly different synched versions of the film - and that both projectors needed to be RELOADED at that point. (Commonly, half a film would play on one projector and the other half would play on a second projector - but this process required both projectors to be "in service" at the same time!) The 3D fad as a whole, its specific application to "Dial M for Murder", and the public's boredom with, and abandonment of, the craze and its requisite 3D Glasses are examined all in the space of a scant seven-plus minutes. Participants in this feature include: Film historian: Robert Osborne, and Filmmakers: Joe Alves (Director of "JAWS 3D"), Peter Bogdonovich, and Richard Franklin (Director of "Psycho II"). Theatrical Trailer for "Dial M for Murder" Golden Age Hollywood Movie Trailers were a unique art form all their own, and Warner Bros. made some of the best! One reason why was the melodramatic "Voice of Warner Bros" Robert C. Bruce. Bruce carries some - but not all - of the load here. Overall: This is a great film with a good selection of Extra Features. It is recommended for Hitchcock, murder, and suspense fans, and enthusiasts of the mid-fifties period. ... show more

Fascinating (some mild spoilers included).
This is a fascinating movie in several ways. It's a good story, well and entertainingly told by Hitchcock. Since it's basically a play set in one room and Hitch doesn't attempt to expand it very much, he needs to call on all his directorial skills to stop it becoming tedious to watch. His use of the cameras, pacing and interesting angles keeps the viewer from being bored and the actors are very easy to look at as well. Next, Hitch and the actors work well together to create different moods. All of them at various times have our sympathy and all of them display unlikeable characteristics as well. It's done so cleverly that you don't realize until afterwards that your own reactions have changed constantly through the film. Milland is a top athlete, a sponger, a cuckolded husband, an unfaithful blackguard, a cunning schemer and blackmailer, an unlucky victim of circumstance, a brilliant improvisor, a dastardly liar and finally, believe it or not, a good loser! I can think of no other director capable of creating such an array of aspects to one character and yet have the character seem perfectly consistent throughout. Grace Kelly is more sympathetically handled and it's easy to overlook her willingness to deceive her husband, but Robert Cummings plays the lover who returns to pick up the dalliance where he left off as an unlikeable lothario and this puts Kelly's behavior in its proper perspective. There is also the fascination of watching the acting conventions of the day, when 'naturalistic' acting wasn't in vogue. It looks almost as dated as the "Woe is me", hand on brow emoting of silent movies. It doesn't suffer in this respect- the play/movie was written for that syle of performance and understated acting would look bland and boring. The twist at the end is one of the best in movies and the excellent John Williams, in his finest role, does a wonderful job of setting it up. A very good film, not perhaps a tour-de-force as are some of Hitchcock's movies, but in its way every bit as effective. ... show more

Dial M for Murder
Great movie. Have purchased and love the idea of not actually purchasing the cd's but having it saved to My Stuff.

Hitchcock at his best!
Alfred Hitchcock was truly in his element here, directing his favorite "icy blonde" Grace Kelly before she became a Princess. Stunning performances by Ray Milan as the vengeful husband, Bob Cummings as the suitor made for an intriguing film. An intricate plot which was later remade starring Michael Douglas. But it's this classic that truly stands our and stands the test if time. ... show more
