Daily Cinema: Dial M for Murder (1954)


In this Hitchcock classic, Ray Milland stars as Tony, a professional tennis player. His wife Margot (Grace Kelly) complains frequently of his busy schedule so he eventually retires, but he soon discovers that his wife has had an affair, so he plots to have her murdered. He gets in touch with a long-time acquaintance in an effort to blackmail him into murdering his wife. The night that the murder is to take place, a snafu leads to the wife murdering the hitman in self-defense. Tony uses this to his advantage and frames his wife for the murder, killing two birds with one stone.
