Dial M for Murder

Ray Milland, Grace Kelly d/hitchcock

This was an adaptation of a hit play. The set-up was clever and quick but the whole enterprise had a distinctly playish air about it...very artificial.

Give the master credit for camera work though. Even though most of the film was in one set it never felt stage-bound or restricted in any way.

And where did Grace get that accent? I thought she grew up in Philadelphia.

Minor league Hitch.
