Dial M for Murder [DVD] [1954]

Ex-tennis pro Tony Wendice (Ray Milland) wants to have his wealthy wife, Margot (Grace Kelly), murdered so he can get his hands on her inheritance. When he discovers her affair with Mark Halliday (Robert Cummings), he comes up with the perfect plan to kill her. He blackmails an old acquaintance into carrying out the murder, but the carefully-orchestrated set-up goes awry, and Margot stays alive. Now Wendice must frantically scheme to outwit the police and avoid having his plot detected. Used to own this great movie on VHS and DVD. Have quite an extensive Alfred Hitchcock Collection on Blu-ray disc. Which personally is far greater than the ones I had for both VHS and DVD combined. Hitchcock, amongst other Directors, are very worthwhile for my collection and own over 25 titles of his. Very highly recommended for Hitchcock enthusiasts!

Very typical Hitchcock film ... and that's fine because all his films were at least very good or excellent. Shot with true 3D cameras, and projected using the polarization process (rather than the very much inferior multi-color anaglyph system). Some good depth scenes. However, some scenes outdoors used stock 2D backgrounds (like looking far down a city street, or a large ship at a dock) ... they looked fake because they were flat, while the foreground view was in 3D. But, all in all, an enjoyable film.

Found out this was not an "after conversion to 3D". The movie was actually shot in 3D by the master himself. You can note this as some scenes were compsed to add depth...lamps and flowers up close, characters in the mid, and walls/pictures at the back. Great 3D - a true cinamatogropher. Crystal clear images and sound. Amazing that we can see it even better now than it was able to be seen with the existing projection/theater technology of the day. (Note: this Blu-ray is a polarized 3D, not red/blue for todays technology.)

Another classic Hitchock! He originally shot this in 3D, and that version has been remastered and included in this fine product offering! It's based on a play and thus Hitch films the majority of this movie in the single scene of the apartment...but one can hardly tell with his directing style. The character study also makes quite the Hitchock turn as you think about who you are "rooting" for at different times of the plot.

Such a great classic, and had amazing 3D quality. I've been wanting this movie since it came out in 3D, but I hate paying so much for a movie because $30 kind of seems outrageous, even now with 4K UHD Blu Rays are $30 and they don't include 3D. But during the holidays they had this movie for $12.99 and I bought it instantly. The acting is on point, amazing script... Just an amazing movie!

For many years it was nearly impossible to watch Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder in 3D. This is the only film Hitchcock made in 3D. This set allows you to view the film in both 3D and in the widescreen format. The previous 2004 DVD presented the film in the standard or full screen format. With this 3D Blu-ray set, you can finally experience this classic film in all its glory.

Alfred Hitchcock is one of the greatest film directors of all time. I love his movies & this is just another one to add to your movie collection. One of the few directors to make a "perfect" movie. A movie that has everything for everyone. I will not bother to describe this film, just sit back & watch it & enjoy it!

Had seen this movie years ago. I was very pleased to find it in 3D. It was enjoyable to watch as the acting was enjoyable from what we see onm today;s TV. The plot was great and the video looked like HD. It was wonderful and very enjoyable for us and our guests. We recommend it.
