Alfred Hitchcock's Cameo: Since 'Dial M' resembles a play, and takes place mainly in the confines of a single apartment, Alfred Hitchcock's cameo is a little different than his normal affair. Thirteen minutes in to the film, you can see Hitchcock in the left side of the class-reunion photo.

Plot Summary:
Ex-professional tennis player Tony Wendice decides to murder his wife for her money when he learns that she had an affair with another man the year before. Tony creates a perfect plan and blackmails an old college associate to strangle her, but when the perfect plan goes wrong he sees a way to turn events back to his advantage.
