Title: Implausable copy of Dial M for Murder
Review: As a fan of Dial M for Murder, I saw it when it first appeared on British TV. The BBC had a sunday night play program and this was one of the stories. This performance and the earlier movie, 1954, with Grace Kelly and Ray Milland was far better, good music too. Director Hitchcock followed the original story. This new movie has some clever twists but also has some awful gaps and holes. I did not like Michael Douglas as one of the leads. I found him very boring, totally dead sounding and looking, (I guess he didn't like the story either) and unconvincing. Indeed he has a long way to go to catch up with his father. Not a good movie.
Is the review positive or negative?
