Dial M For Murder (4 Stars)


Today is the first time I've ever seen this 1954 Hitchcock thriller. While not as well known as "Psycho" or "The Birds", which I saw many times while growing up, this film fascinates me. I was riveted to my seat from beginning to end.

An ex-professional tennis player finds out that his wife is having an affair and plans the perfect murder. Unfortunately his carefully laid plans are ruined by an element of fate: his watch stops. This causes him to improvise, making a hasty new plan in the aftermath of his failure. I really can't say much more without giving away the plot to those who have never seen it. I strongly recommend this film to my readers.
