Dial M for Murder (1954)

Bland direction, no likable characters, and all that convoluted nonsense with the keys near the end make this one of the most overrated movies I've ever seen. Ray Milland's performance is the only real saving grace this picture has.

I'm positive that were it not for Hitchcock's name, this movie would've been forgotten decades ago.

C-

I agree completely. I was going on a Hitchcock binge recently and Dial M for Murder was the only film I just couldn't get into. I just don't thing it grabs the audience like Hitchcock films do. Why is this considered one of his masterpieces, and Marnie considered a crapsterpiece?
