Former tennis pro and playboy Tony Wendice (Jonathan Greenman) married the charming Sheila (Izzy Orde) for her money, only to neglect her and lead the good life. But when he discovers she has fallen in love with another man, crime writer Max Halliday (Martin Mills ), Tony starts to worry that his free and easy days might come to an end. So he plays the dutiful and attentive husband while he carefully pays plans for the perfect murder. He blackmails Lesgate (Tom Ivison), an old schoolmate, to break into their house and strangle Sheila when she is home alone.

Lesgate and Sheila

Yet even the best-laid plans can go wrong – the victim does the unexpected, the scissors are lying within reach, and suddenly Tony has to quickly re-think his plans. Will Sheila escape his schemes? Will Inspector Hubbard (Mat Nichol) see through the plot? Can Max find a way to save the woman he loves?

Dial 'M' for Murder (known in Germany as Hitchcock’s Bei Anruf Mord) is an intense psychological thriller that will keep you riveted till the end.
