Critics Consensus: Dial M for Murder may be slightly off-peak Hitchcock, but by any other standard, it's a sophisticated, chillingly sinister thriller -- and one that boasts an unforgettable performance from Grace Kelly to boot.

Danielle Solzman

Dial M for Murder is never short of suspense and the master of suspense's first of three films with Grace Kelly is among the top tier of Hitchcock's filmography.

The story never trips over itself and Hitchcock let’s Knott’s script do most of the heavy lifting.

It is probably the only 3D film that truly realizes the potential of what such a misused medium can offer a talented director.

Although the first act is where the franticness resides, the brilliance of the film is in the aftermath.

Ray Milland is sufficiently suave as the misbegotten genius, and Hitchcock has moved about very sure-footedlv on what continues to be for the most part just a stage.
