Dial 'M' for Murder

Synopsis

A man will go to the extent of murdering his wife because of his jealousy and to get his hands on some money he would inherit from her. But what happens when his plan goes awry and the wrong person gets killed?

Entertainment Value - A

Great suspense movie. The best part is to see the how the truth unravels from the view of the head detective and watching the husband squirm.

Moral Value - Failure to Communicate? - 3

Some important things the show made me think about:

1. Being too busy with hobbies resulting in less communication with your spouse can lead to infidelity or just falling out of love with each other, making it hard to want to perpetuate the union.


2. It is important to be open and honest - she appears to have never told her husband that she had grown to love him more since he quit playing tennis (though her actions may attest to it, he needed a little more evidence of it).  She also could have mentioned that she was less interested in the writer. Had she been open and honest with him, he may not have tried to kill her.
