    Body Double (1984) Directed by Brian De Palma stars Craig Wasson, Gregg Henry, Melanie Griffith and Deborah Shelton. The film is an homage to the 1950s films of Alfred Hitchcock, specifically Rear Window, Vertigo, and Dial M for Murder.

    Hitchcock had a run like few others - from Dial M for Murder in '53 to North by Northwest in '59, every film was an instant classic Dial M for Murder Rear Window To Catch a Thief The Trouble with Harry The Man Who Knew Too Much The Wrong Man Vertigo North by Northwest That's one hell of a streak.

    Released #OTD in 1984 #filmsky Brian De Palma originally planned for this to be the first Hollywood film to boast unsimulated sex scenes. The studio thought differently. The film is a direct homage to 3 of Brian DePalma's fave Alfred Hitchcock's films: Rear Window, Vertigo and Dial M for Murder

    I like those instances in Hitchcock movies in which one character looks at something and then another character notices the first person's look. I've noticed such moments in this film, Dial M for Murder, and North by Northwest. #Rope #TCMParty

    Looking for some 50s film recommendations. So I love me some older films. Last year I came here and asked for 60s recommendations and got some amazing movie recs. Now I want some from the 50s. Ones I enjoyed so far are films like: - Rear Window - Sunset Boulevard - Vertigo - Scrooge (or A Christmas Carol the one with Alastair Sim) - Stalag 17 The only ones I've seen I'm a bit just kind of eh on are Titfield Thunderbolt and Blood of Dracula. I haven't seen anything I think is outright bad…

    Dial M For Murder is such a terrific film and I think sometimes gets forgotten among Hitchcock's run of classics. For one, it was made in 3D, which makes a lot of the shot choices a little odd. For two, like Rope, it's very firmly structured like a play. This one has two distinct acts.

    Dial M for Murder (1954) Actually never seen a Hitchcock film until now. Not sure if this is the best choice being all on one set, but that in itself was pretty interesting with how its used. Kind of a reverse of a whodunit. Doing a lot with just one set and a couple actors. I liked it.

    A murder is arranged in the movie. The screenplay is based on the play Dial M for Murder and the excellent Hitchcock film of the same title. But it’s about negotiation more than deception, money more than love. Everybody’s motives are pretty clear from the beginning.
