Dial M for Murder 3D

‘When the wealthy wife Margot Wendice (Grace Kelly) threatens to leave her husband, the former professional tennis player Tony (Ray Milland), he brings a hired killer into their shared flat. But the elaborate murder plot goes awry when Margot grabs a pair of sharp scissors during a struggle with the killer. A legendary crime and marital drama that literally ‘catches the eye’, as Hitchcock shot his thrilling adaptation of a rather conventional stage play in 3D.” (Berlinale 2013)

“Alfred Hitchcock in his element: an innocent murder suspect, a ‘perfect murder’, a confined space for the action. (…) The film has become one of his finest works. Because he found the perfect camera angles for every scene. Because he found the right actors. Because, in only his third colour film, he makes colour a character in its own right. (…) Ray Milland shines with charm, cutting malice and swaggering arrogance, and the camera paints the perfect pictures; it hovers beneath the ceiling, hides behind objects, lies on the floor.” (Christoph Hartung)
