Good, but linear
21 July 1999
While it's not my favorite Hitchcock classic, Dial M for Murder is a decent film in its own right. Grace Kelly, a charming actress of times gone by, is at her shining best. The suspense near the end scene is palpable and raw--a splendid trademark of Hitch's terse directorial style. However, Murder simply lacked the complexity of Vertigo and Psycho. We knew the motive, we knew the method, we just didn't know if the rest of the cast would eventually know.
