		Dial M for Murder was filmed in the briefly trendy 3-D process, and Hitchcock shot some scenes to bring out the depth of the 3-D field; it's especially good for the nail-biting attempted murder of Kelly, and her desperate reach for a pair of scissors that seems to be just outside her grasp.
		Dial M was remade in 1998 as A Perfect Murder, a film that changed and expanded the material, with no improvement on the clean, witty original.
		"Dial M" is watchable primarily because of the suave performances of Ray Milland and John Williams.

		It wasn't Hitchcock's preference to shoot DIAL M FOR MURDER in Warnercolor 3D (the cameras were large and unwieldly), and the film is seldom screened in 3D, but Hitchcock's use of the technique is notable for its service to the story rather than just being a gimmick.
		DIAL M FOR MURDER was shot in 3-D but not originally released in that format; the 3-D version has subsequently been screened in various art movie houses.
		DIAL M FOR MURDER is Alfred Hitchcock's intriguing cinematic adaptation of Frederick Knott's play about a woman who slowly comes to realize that her husband is trying to murder her.

	Dial M for Murder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		It is Swan’s need for money that ultimately causes him to turn murderer; not that the deed is handsomely paid, but rather because Wendice knows all the grisly details of some of Swann’s past moneymaking schemes, and it is the threat of exposure that really clinches the deal.
		Like all perfect murders, the plan does finally go awry, and Wendice is forced to cover himself by improvising a hasty Plan B. During the second half of the film, he makes adjustments to the crime scene, doctors the evidence and answers questions from Inspector Hubbard (John Williams).
		Dial M for Murder is a compact study in the sinister minutiae of domestic life, so it is only appropriate that its climax should manage to milk a high degree of tension from the question of whether a certain character will or will not walk through a door.

	DVD Savant Review: Dial M for Murder
		Dry English wit as delivered by Williams often isn't as witty as it should be, but Dial M for Murder allows him a character instead of the usual refined attitude and smart but empty dialogue.
		Dial M for Murder doesn't try to do a postmodern post- mortem on the chamber mystery the way Sleuth does, but it's possibly the most adept straight chamber mystery we've got.
		Dial M for Murder tackles both color and a real gimmick, 3-D. His is probably the best 3-D picture ever made simply because the depth illusion is built into the design of every shot.

		The movie was quickly released in a conventional, 'flat' version as the fad for 3-D ran its course.
