Dial M For Murder

For the fifteenth film of the month we have Dial M For Murder

First off, we have the story which has An ex-tennis pro who carries out a plot to have his wife murdered when he discovers she is having an affair, and assumes she will soon leave him for the other man. When things go wrong, he then improvises a new plan—to frame her for murder instead. I thought the story was very intriguing and as the plot thickened it got more entertaining. 

Next, we have the characters which overall, I thought were one of the best parts about the film especially Tony because of his plot and what he will go to in order to get his wife out of the picture. The acting throughout was excellent and the chemistry between the main cast was built up well. 

As for the film's visuals I thought the film's cinematography was one of the best parts about it with it's camera positioning for certain scenes that added to the film but also because of the lighting throughout which was used wisely.  Moving onto the tone of the film which I thought was done very well and the mystery that was built up was very intriguing and the twists throughout kept it engaging. I thought the soundtrack of the film was very good as usual for a Hitchcock film as it added to the overall experience of the film and built up the suspense. 

Overall, I thought this film was great mystery plot and another great film by Alfred Hitchcock who continues to show how good his films are and how mystery can be portrayed in film to keep people interested.

I give Dial M For Murder a score of 8/10
