The mystery is wondering how Ray Milland will be caught. I was told that the character of the Inspector was the prototype for the American Columbo character. Also, Ray Milland and Alfred Hitchcock is as good as it can get for this murder plot.
Actually the character Porfiry Petrovich, the detective in Dostoevsky's great novel "Crime and Punishment" was the model for both characters.
Monique Lacosta!! Yeah it looked like the perfect crime'
@@trajan75 I read somewhere! They got the Colombo character from Double indemnity!! Edward g Robinson's role
@@mickirving6779Great film. I see the connection. Dostoevsky's novel preceeded both. So maybe he influenced both.
I thought of Columbo too. I call that kind of story a "he-dunnit". But in Dial M For Murder there is added anxiety because of the way the Brjts did capital punishment at the time. After pronouncing guilt, they gave the condemned a couple of hours to mess about, then off to the hangman, and _sproing_ go the vertebrae.
It wasn't a murder story. It was a suspense story about deliverance.
The inspector in 1954 gives the Miranda rights warning in the middle of the movie 12 years before it was passed in 1966.
Yes, we know how well made it is etc. but it BAFFLES me how if this is on the screen , no matter if I start even in the middle I HAVE to watch it yet again to the end. Truffaut, who in his Hitchcock interview was very respectful of the film but then admitted he LOVED it so much he has watched it TWICE in one week.
@poetcomic1
Impeccable acting keeps you
rivetted . And Hitch's directing of
course.
TJ lives!
Fantastic movie
Leonard Maltin gave a top review to the worst movie I ever saw. You think I mean it was a really bad movie. No, I mean it was the worst movie I ever saw. It was called The Money Tree.
Lol alright but what does that have to do with this video
