Dial M for Murder

Heroes & Villains

Ray Milland & Grace Kelly (1954)

When ex-tennis pro Tony Wendice discovers his wealthy wife is having an affair with a handsome crime writer, burning rage turns to cold calculation. Driven by revenge, and greedy for her substantial wealth, he embarks on an elaborate plot to commit the perfect murder. With its taut script and glorious villain of snake-like charm, stylishly epitomising upper-class evil, this gripping noir thriller, transforms the classic ‘whodunnit’ into the ‘will he get away with it?’
