Milland's sinister sophistication catches the eye, but Kelly's subtly shaded suffering is superb.

An exercise made by an enormously talented constructor of thrillers in the most fertile period of his career.

Dial M remains more of a filmed play than a motion picture, unfortunately revealed as a conversation piece about murder which talks up much more suspense than it actually delivers.

Ray Milland is great as cold fish Tony Wendice, a former tennis pro who plans to bump off his adulterous wife. Still, Grace Kelly is mis-cast (or misdirected) as the spouse in question.

The screenplay tends to constrain rather than liberate Hitchcock's thematic thrust, but there is much of technical value in his geometric survey of the scene and the elaborate strategies employed to transfer audience sympathy among the main characters.

The movie is worth seeing even now, if for no other aim than to show a man ambitiously experimenting with the devious facets that would inspire greater films.

The fun of Dial M lies in its duel of wits...

The risk with clever thrillers is always that they will focus on pleasing the intellect at the expense of developing more depth. Dial M For Murder is a different kind of animal.

It all moves along in a rather efficient if lifeless fashion, with only John Williams shining as a canny police detective.

Rather than let someone else mess with a play that has a formal perfection, Hitchcock did the adaptation himself, his only such credit while in Hollywood.

Dial M is less a filmed play than a highly cinematic investigation of theatricality.

Was by far the most visually compelling of studio stereoscopic movies.
