' enteng ng ina mo ' leads first day of mmff box - office race with a record - breaking p38 . 5 - m

as of this writing , we’ve watched only 3 – asiong salonga , panday 2 and enteng ng ina mo . we plan to watch three more .

pinoy showbiz surfer : ' enteng ng ina mo ' leads first day of mmff box - office race with a record - breaking p38 . 5 - m

enteng ng ina mo goes around the lives of enteng ( vic sotto ) retiring as the perennial hero of engkantasya and ina ( ai - ai de las alas ) longing for a partner who will be with her for the rest of her life . satana ( bing loyzaga ) places enteng under a powerful evil spell , to fall in love with another woman . this is where he meets ina . as their relationship gets serious , ina discovers enteng has a family and a wife . enteng ng ina mo tied up with shake , rattle and roll 13 , both taking home three awards .

if one was asked to guess which film would be this year’s top grosser at the metro manila film festival ( mmff ) , he would likely say it’s predictable - - comedy / fantasy movie enteng ng ina mo .

“enteng ng ina mo” stars box - office king vic sotto and box - office queen ai ai delas alas and it’s slated to be shown on december 25 , 2011 as part of the 2011 metro manila film festival .

showbiz beckoned . at 18 , she was introduced in the metro filmfest entry si agimat at si enteng kabisote , starring vic sotto and bong revilla , and got a best newcomer supporting actress nomination . she appeared in two more kabisote movies , enteng ng ina mo and si agimat , si enteng at si ako .

enteng kabisote in film is the enteng kabisote on television . he was okay ka fairy ko .

given a bland plot , poor effects and editing , one can’t help but ask why the movie is faring well at the box - office ? and , probably , the only reason is that enteng ng ina mo is what you expect it to be .

in the best actor race , it should be a fight among jeorge estregan for " asiong salonga , " ryan agoncillio for " my househusband , ikaw na , " vic sotto for " enteng ng ina mo " and sen . bong revilla for " panday 2 . "

it would also be interesting to find out who would win as best actress – judy ann santos for " my househusband ikaw na , " kris aquino for " segunda mano " or maricel soriano for " yesterday today tomorrow , " and ai ai de las alas for " enteng ng ina mo . "

movie pundits however expressed doubts at aquino’s prediction as she is competing against box - office giants vic sotto and ai ai delas alas of “enteng ng ina mo” and bong revilla of “ang panday 2 . ” past rankings after three days of the festival showed “segunda mano” in third position behind these two films here .

enteng kabisote wants to retire as the hero of engkantasya and have a normal life with his family without the magical elements . ina montecillo longs to have the right partner to be with her for the rest of her life . one day , enteng is placed under a powerful evil spell by engkantasya’s evil fairy satana to fall in love with another woman . he then meets ina and makes her fall in love with him . enteng then tries his best to be a father to ina’s children even if they are not fully supportive of him , but what happens when ina finds out that enteng already has a family ?

as expected , “ enteng ng ina mo , ” a fantasy - comedy film starring two box office comedy royalties , vic sotto and ai ai delas alas , topped the 2011 mmff box - office race on its opening day . the said movie was grossed p38 . 5 million - a new record to beat after successfully exceeding the p31 million opening ticket sales of another fantasy film “si agimat at si enteng kabisote” ( 2010 ) .

veteran comics ai - ai delas alas and vic sotto teamed up for this movie mash - up of two successful film franchises , the ina mo series and the ok ka fairy ko series .

one day , enteng is placed under a powerful spell by engkantasya’s evil fairy satana ( amy perez ) - - he will fall in love with a woman other than his wife . when enteng meets ina , he strenuously courts her . ina , on the other hand , slowly opens her heart to this new opportunity for love .

the story places enteng kabisote on the verge of retirement as the hero of engkantasya , the parallel world where he and his fairy family come from . after years of battling demons and devils , enteng wants to have a normal life with his family without the magical elements . meanwhile , ina montecillo is on her endless quest to have the right partner to be with her for the rest of her life . one day , enteng is placed under a spell by an evil fairy called satana , who dooms enteng to fall in love with another woman - ina .

we watched " enteng ng ina mo " on monday at the gateway cinema in cubao and it was a full house , confirming reports that the vic - ai ai is indeed the current leader in the race for earnings . we had to line up for an orderly entry to cinema . we noticed that most of those lining up are kids with parents . no wonder then that the movie is hit . they have captured the children’s fancy .

enteng kabisote ( vic sotto ) wants to retire as the perennial hero of engkantasya and have a normal life with his family without the magical elements . ina montecillo ( ai - ai delas alas ) longs to have the right partner to be with her for the rest of her life . one day , enteng is placed under a powerful evil spell by engkantasya ' s evil fairy satana to fall in love with another woman . and when he meets ina , he exerts all the effort ina to fall for him . ina , on the other hand , slowly opens her heart for this new opportunity of love .

synopsis : veteran comics ai - ai delas alas and vic sotto teamed up for this movie of two film franchises , the ina mo series and the ok ka fairy ko series . ms . delas alas once again takes the role of widowed mother ina montecillo - - a character she had played in three other films , including in last year’s tanging ina mo rin ( last na ‘to ) for which she won mmff’s best actress award . meanwhile , mr . sotto returns as family man enteng kabisote , which he has been portraying since tv - series okay ka fairy ko debuted in the late 1980s . the movie starts with enteng wanting to put an end to his recurring role as the hero of engkantasya ( fairyland ) and live a normal life with his family . on the other hand , ina longs for the right partner to be with her for the rest of her life .

enteng was real . and if the franchise of films is any measure of its success , then enteng continues to be real . because people continue to watch his story happen , fantasy and all .

we don’t know if the mmff committee would decide to use box - office supremacy as one of the criteria in choosing the best picture . this became rather tumultuous in recent years after a movie which won second best picture honors went on to become the eventual top moneymaker . if the mmff committee decides to use the box - office result in choosing the best picture , then it is safe to say that the best picture winners would be enteng ng ina mo , panday 2 and segunda mano .

the first installment of enteng kabisote film series is a comical journey of enteng kabisote ( vic sotto ) , a tagalupa , who marries faye ( kristine hermosa ) , an engkantada and the only daughter of ina magenta ( giselle toengi ) , queen of engkantasya . the adventure all starts when satana ( bing loyzaga ) , the evil queen of kadiliman turns her ire on enteng’s family , but still gets defeated after numerous fights against enteng , benok ( oyo boy sotto ) and itim ( michael v . ) , who was once her apprentice .

since it was a collaboration of sorts between two of the best comic actors in philippine showbusiness , one would expect a bit more from enteng ng ina mo . sadly , the film was a bit overdone . in this case , the sum wasn ' t as great as the parts . sotto and delas alas were not fluid or natural in their scenes , no thanks to a script that was probably just a hodge podge of lines taken from a comic performing in front of an empty audience in a comedy bar .

meanwhile , bong revilla ’s “ panday 2 ” came in second with p20 million followed by kris aquino ’s “ segunda mano ” with p18 . 25 million . here is the first day gross of mmff 2011 entries : 1 . enteng ng ina mo – p38 . 5 million 2 . panday 2 – p20 million 3 . segunda mano – p18 . 25 million 4 . my househusband – p17 . 33 million 5 . shake rattle & roll 13 – p15 . 9 million 6 . yesterday , today and tomorrow – p10 . 1m million 7 . manila kingpin : the untold story of asiong salonga – p3 million notably that this year’s overall first day gross are much higher / better than last year . 2010 mmff ( 1st day ) 1 . si agimat at si enteng kabisote – p31 million 2 . ang tanging ina , last na ‘to – p20 million 3 . dalaw – p12 . 5 million 4 . shake rattle & roll xii – p11 . 8 million 5 . rpg : metanoia – p5 . 1 million 6 . super inday and the golden bibe – p4 . 7 million 7 . rosario – p3 . 2 million 8 . father jejemon – p1 . 4 million congratulations not only for “enteng ng ina mo” but also for the other 6 film entries . mabuhay ang pelikulang pilipino ! : )

now , of course , vic had a choice , he always does . but , too , it is clear to me that within the limits of and expectations for the metro manila filmfest , this is exactly the kind of films that is easily produced , and will easily make money . this is at the heart of the decision to team up with mmff top - grosser bong revilla in si agimat at si enteng kabisote ( 2010 ) , and aiai de las alas in eteng ng ina mo ( 2011 ) , where combining forces to do one film ( instead of two different ones ) , has proven fruitful for vic and the enteng kabisote franchise , too !

enteng kabisote ( vic sotto ) finally wants to live a normal life after his several adventures already at encantacia . ina montecillo ( aiai delas alas ) , despite constant denying , still itches to have a man in her life . when ina magenta ( amy perez ) was captured in encantacia , there’s no one left to replace her than faye ( gwen zamora ) . even with the disapproval of enteng , faye decides to accept the title and stay there . over at the montecillo household , ina starts to feel that she needs to focus on her family , but much to her surprise , everyone’s going already leaving her alone . due to a spell cast to enteng , he’ll fall in love with the first woman he’ll see , and that happened to be ina . he “falls” in love with her , and when he learned that it was all but a spell , ina and her family were already in danger . and then there’s the battle scene and the obligatory happy ending .

he has done better than my little bossings though . sadly , no one has cared enough to acknowledge enteng kabisote .

it comes as no surprise - - thus this is not really a spoiler - - that in the end , good triumphs over evil , the enteng and ina’s respective families stay intact and they all lived happily ever . . . until the next sequel .

when two of the biggest movie franchise combine , one must not expect some quality ( well , any quality ) at all . take the case of the “si agimat at si enteng kabisote” last year . also , when a franchise announces that they’ll be ending for a particular year , that automatically means it willl be back next year , as is the case of the tanging ina series . now , what happens when ina and enteng join forces ? box office domination of course . but us it necessary ? never mind .

aside from being the first film of the love team of richards and mendoza ( collectively known as aldub ) , my bebe love is the reunion film of delas alas and sotto after their film enteng ng ina mo , which was also a metro manila film festival entry in 2011 . it is also the first film of delas alas under meda productions , her own film production . this film was released in the philippines and was internationally screened in selected cinemas in san francisco and los angeles in the united states , melbourne and sydney in australia , and abu dhabi and dubai in the united arab emirates .

drawing on the box office appeals of vic sotto ( as enteng kabisote ) and ai ai delas alas ( as ina montecillo ) , the film , which releases in the uae on thursday , left the rest of the movies in the filmfest biting the dust at the box office .

family comedy ang tanging ina n’yong lahat is about a mother who tries to find her self - worth by being the president of the country . starring ai - ai de las alas and eugene domingo , it is the sequel to the 2003 comedy film ang tanging ina . anyone will admire ina montecillo ( ai - ai de las alas ) as the epitome of a perfect mother . after more than 30 years of doing everything for her family , ina then realized she has not done something for herself . she then finds her self - worth through ruling as the president of the philippines .

the seven official entries vying in this year’s metro manila film festival are now in the thick of the fight for box - office supremacy . according to the tweet of kris aquino on monday , leading the pack as based on first day total gross is the vic sotto - ai ai delas alas starrer " enteng ng ina mo " with p38 . 5m , " panday 2 " with p20m , " segunda mano " with p18 . 25 m , " my househusband " with p17 . 33 m , " ssr13 " with p15 . 9 m , " yesterday today tomorrow " with p10 . 1 m and " asiong salonga " with p3 m .

could have been a better film if it weren’t so poorly edited . the scenes in engkantasya and those showing the family lives of ina and enteng were put together on screen so sloppily that at one point the viewer would have thought he was watching three different movies at the same time .

in which i think that this would be the future trend quotes . xyriel manabat ' s performance is fantastic and her acting is like madam anna . jose manalo is still in the funniest and he can perform a drunk man really well and i ' m impressed . this is a crazy film because it is really funny and the money is not totlly wasted and it was all worth it . i think that this is the reason for the film ' s box office success and the 2nd best picture award . they have the best cast , special effects , story and much much more . enteng ng ina mo is a good film and all of you should really watch . here is my grade :

the truth is , and this is where i disagree with lourd , he hasn’t . enteng kabisote was never run - of - the - mill .

go on , defend enteng kabisote for all the world to know , but let’s get real – a movie loaded with product endorsements is plain garbage .

that is , we watched okay ka fairy ko . we’ve watched this story grow . and in truth , enteng as a character has remained our every man .

first things first , if you’ve seen all the enteng and ina movies with passion , then what’s wrong with you ? you can just revisit them again . there’s nothing new here . they’re less funny versions of the previous ones . they did a lot of parody of past star cinema movies ( my amnesia girl , you changed my life , a very special love , and no other woman ) , and only the last one worked . the story’s thin as a shanghai wrapper , and most , if not all , jokes are recycled . and not until the last twenty minutes or so will the actual enteng and ina unite . the first hour is like a two - in - one feature that separates the two stories .

monsters keep on scaring and kidnapping children on agimat’s ( bong revilla jr . ) world and they seem capable of travelling in other worlds and with this , agimat crosses over with them and discovers engkantasya , the world of faye ( gwen zamora ) , ina magenta ( amy perez ) and enteng kabisote ( vic sotto ) . as the story unfolds , it reveals that satana ( bing loyzaga ) orders the monster to snatch children so she can use their blood to revive ragat , the lord of darkness . enteng has to rescue his wife with the help of agimat to battle the monsters and the dark lord . si agimat at si enteng kabisote won best visual effects and best make - up artist awards .

as the 41st mmff dominates the local movie houses , we are also intrigued on which film would perform better than the other . for decades , this has been the most exciting part of mmff apart from the scandals that usually mar the gabi ng parangal .

the film , however , is saved by the original tanging ina series’ cast who all gave good performances . award - winning actress eugene domingo again effortlessly played ina’s crazy , loud best friend rowena . ms . delas alas , for her part , gave another solid comedic performance . the two comediennes’ timing is laudable . they , as expected , manage to deliver the movie’s best line just before the viewer cringes from yet another badly edited scene .

ina’s children and grandchildren ( played well by marvin agustin , nikki valdez , alwyn uytingco , carlo aquino and xyriel manabat ) were also candidly funny and memorable , proving that there are no small roles but only small actors .

enteng ' s misadventures trying to be the father of ina ' s kids would have been a nice set up for many funny antics . however , many of the scenes were a bit forced and unfortunately showed sotto and delas alas in perhaps their worst performances on the big screen . sotto had his usual laid - back way , but his punchlines were off . delas alas shouts and screams in the movie , many times quite unnecessarily .

for which she won mmff’s best actress award . meanwhile , mr . sotto returns as family man enteng kabisote , which he has been portraying since tv - series okay ka fairy ko debuted in the late 1980s .

enteng was the every lower - middle - class man , who had a small repair shop on the first floor of his home , who dealt with the travails of being a service worker , even as he might be called “business owner . ” the struggle would also be in relation to mother - in - law ina magenta ( charito solis ) , who might be the most iconic biyenan in recent local pop culture , fantastic costumes and raised eyebrows included .

engkantasya welcomes a new addition to kabisote family , ada ( angel sy ) , enteng ( vic sotto ) and faye’s ( kristine hermosa ) baby girl . darkness once again broods in both engkantasya and in man’s world when satana ( bing loyzaga ) has finally regained her powers . but with the help of the new allies , alyssa ( marian rivera ) , and verdana ( jose manalo ) , enteng once again saves the fate of engkantasya .

that is , vic kicked off enteng in okay ka fairy ko for tv ( written by bibeth orteza , directed by bert de leon ) —this is at the heart of my disagreement with lourd . that sitcom was not run - of - the - mill comedy , not for its time , and not given the way it resonates still for the present . and yes , i’m also talking about enteng kabisote as the character that has spawned a franchise .

the superhero film in 2003 is another adaptation of one of mars ravelo’s originals . in the movie , capt . barbell’s human form is enteng ( ogie alcasid ) . enteng finds the mysterious barbell in a gym , where he works as a janitor , not knowing that the barbell gives his alter ego , captain barbell ( bong revilla ) . directed by mac alejandre , the film also makes the version of the character’s power and strength origins more detailed .

now i’m not saying that vic’s enteng kabisote is equal to dolphy’s dioscoro derecho . i am saying that it’s unfair to imagine the latter to simply be better than the former . i am saying that if in the end history will judge vic sotto’s body of work , and enteng kabisote will not matter , then that is not so much the problem of vic . it will be the problem of those who look upon local mainstream popular cinema and think : nah , nothing there is worth it .

it is fascinating really , how this following for enteng has run for more than two decades . that has to be a measure of how he remains believable for a mass audience as a real person . it would be unfair to say that it’s because he is shallow and superficial .

now it might be easy to dismiss enteng and okay ka , given its fantasy . but in fact throughout that series it remained a story that was interesting because it was consistent and successful in drawing parallels between the real world and the fairy world . there was no easy escape for enteng here —not even when he had prinsipe k ( ahilingan ) ( bayani casimiro jr . ) to fulfill his wishes . this made for a complete character who was a decent human being , with a realistic moral compass , and an even more real notion of family and community .

enteng kabisote is a fascinating popular cultural icon , much like vic himself , and those films are worthy of study . not only might this be one of those rare characters that has been able to move from tv to film , it’s also very clear that it is tied to both nostalgia and familiarity .

the once humble private benjamin ( vice ganda ) becomes a worldwide sensation and the philippine’s unkabogable soldier . in order to prepare him better , benjamin is assigned under the new general , wilson chua ( richard yap ) . even though the sequel to the unkabogable praybeyt benjamin topped the box office record of 40th mmff’s opening day , this film was not able to get any awards from 2014 gabi ng parangal . – camille caguioa

in june 2015 , the film was originally titled rom - comin mo ako [ 12 ] and ai - ai de las alas and vic sotto were the only confirmed actors . [ 13 ] in august 2015 , alden richards signed a contract with apt entertainment , one of the producers of the film , and was confirmed to be part of the film that was renamed to my bebe love . [ 12 ] it was later revealed that the full title of the film is my bebe love : # kiligpamore . [ 14 ] the " bebe " in the title is a filipino slang word meaning " baby " ( term of endearment for a girlfriend or significant other ) while # kiligpamore is a hashtag that means having more of the kilig .

one hopes of course that vic can outdo himself . no , not outdo my little bossings – after kris aquino there’s nowhere to go but up . i mean outdo the enteng kabisote franchise , and reveal how his icon is not just about being bossing on eat bulaga or about ascertaining box - office success by doing tried and tested characters . vic can outdo himself and level up the making of the comedy film . he can prove that primed and tested , the mass audience can enjoy better , more intelligent , comedy . he can show us all that he’s got more up his sleeve , especially now that he’s done with kris aquino .

it is undeniable though that vic sotto is still as charismatic as ever . if there’s someone who’s allowed to recycle his jokes over and over again , it’s him . aiai delas alas is in her usual overacting self once again , so one can expect an automatic pmpc best actress award for her . all the supporting cast were just okay , as they were mostly underutilized . eugene domingo is funny as ever , but she wasn’t given a material that will equate to her great talent . not even her can save this disaster . there was this funny scene with her during ina’s breakdown scene that is my favorite throughout the movie . the movie has some passable effects , i must say , but it will still boil down to the “nothing new offered” category .

john , thanks for steering me to your excellent review of dial m for murder in response to my current blog “dial and dial again ! ” your post contains a treasure trove of dial m… lore , including the play’s beginnings on the bbc , maurice evans’ involvement , and the fact that john williams and anthony dawson ( who was apparently a nice guy in real life ; now that’s a versatile actor ! : - ) ) played their roles on stage as well as onscreen . cary grant would probably have done a fine job playing tony , but ray milland nailed it , in my opinion . besides , despite milland’s lost weekend oscar , i don’t think he’s as appreciated as he should be . same goes for bob cummings , if for slightly different reasons , imo ! 🙂 heck , it seems that dial m… itself isn’t always as well appreciated as it should be , either , so i’m especially glad your terrific post truly does the film justice !

dial m for murder is an american movie from 1954 , directed by alfred hitchcock . the thriller was recorded in stereo , but is usually not shown in stereo . the story is based on a play . the script of both this play if the movie were written by frederick knott .

reportedly , hitchcock began pre - production work on ' rear window ' while he was shooting ' dial m for murder , ' and the new project consumed all his interest . that shows up on the screen , as ' dial m ' feels like a hitchcock film on autopilot . the passion that permeates ' strangers on a train , ' for example , is absent here . don ' t get me wrong , ' dial m for murder ' is a well - made movie , especially given the constraints and encumbrances of 3d that handcuffed hitch at every turn , but there ' s little creative spark on display . the film still outclasses others in the genre from other directors , but i hold hitchcock to a higher standard , and this picture falls short of the brilliance i normally expect .

e giant prop technique was applied to dial m , making it possible to manage ultra - close - ups without inflicting eyestrain , and demonstrating hitchcock’s undisputed genius for outwitting the limitations of the mechanical devices he worked with .

i disagree . dial m for murder has a romping plot , a gloriously slimy villain and – thanks to the fact that ( as in rope before and rear window after ) the action is mostly constrained to one room – some of the weirdest , tricksiest camera work of hitchcock ' s career .

frederick knott ' s stage play dial m for murder did roaring business in both london ' s west end and in new york city ' s broadway on its release in 1952 . it wasn ' t long however before warner bros and a certain alfred hitchcock decided it would make for an intriguing thriller with some elaborate twists . dial m for murder was actually filmed and released in 3 - d in may 1954 but due to the drop - off in demand for 3 - d films played mostly as a normal 2 - d . 1954 was the year that grace kelly became one of hollywood ' s biggest stars with both this film and rear window hitting the screens . it also made her the first of hitchcock ' s blondes , something the director had a particular penchant…

fast - forward 58 years , and american movie - goers are in the throes of yet another 3d craze - - albeit one that , thankfully , doesn ' t require the wearing of goofy red - and - blue glasses . and , finally , warner bros . is ready to give " dial m for murder " that added dimension .

john , thanks for a fine review with great pics . for me , dial m is a good hitch flick , but not among his best . i love your point about ray milland’s husband being much more interesting than bob cummings– i , too , have wondered what grace’s character saw in him . i am not surprised that john williams won a tony for his stage performance , for he’s excellent in the film version .

the best thing about dial m for murder in my opinion was that i could get behind both of the main characters at once . i wanted tony’s plan to succeed and at the same time i wanted margot to live . of course , those two things are mutually exclusive and somebody had to lose . but that really created a moral dilemma for me , and kept me interested in the outcome .

and as a result , when dial “m” for murder is remade in 1998 as a perfect murder , it’s nothing special — just another michael douglas pseudo - erotic thriller . when rear window is ( again , unofficially ) remade as disturbia , the claustrophobia of hitch’s style and his implicit commentary about voyeurism and moviegoing is jettisoned to in favor of pure thriller tropes . and that goes double for window ’s 1998 tv remake , which becomes ( rather ghoulishly ) less about hitchcock than the debilitation of star christopher reeve .

in the my little pony friendship is magic comic book , released february 5 , 2014 , there is a story in black in white titled , dial s for sassy .

the film earned an estimated $ 2 . 7 million at the north american box office in 1954 . [ 5 ] dial m for murder marked the end of the brief flirtation with 3d movies of the early 1950s . hitchcock said of 3 - d , “it ' s a nine - day wonder , and i came in on the ninth day . ” [ 6 ]

' dial m for murder ' may not captivate the way most hitchcock films do , but it ' s still a good mystery and police procedural . the plot is largely credible , and when dissected , all the puzzle pieces snugly interlock , creating a satisfying whole that ' s more entertaining the second time around . though attention is required to follow the finer narrative threads , the movie ' s talky nature and straightforward presentation sometimes dull our senses . the attack sequence , however , is worth the price of admission , and reminds us just how talented hitchcock is when he brings his a game . the rest of the time , though , ' dial m for murder ' is solid , but not spectacular . let ' s just call it hitchcock lite .

on march 10 , army archerd reported in daily variety that “dial m will go out in 3 - d . ” warner bros . ad campaign was designed in a way to make the 3 - d tagline easily removed . posters were made for the flat version , and a specially prepared snipe would be affixed for any 3 - d booking .

originally designed to lure audiences away from their tv sets , 3d utilized a " left - eye / right - eye " dual projection process and polarized glasses , the basis for what is seen today . however , with the advent of cinemascope ( " the miracle you can see without glasses " ) and the higher costs associated with 3d , the fad was fading by the time dial m for murder was released in theatres . as a result , most 1954 moviegoers only saw the film projected in 2d , and it wasn ' t until the early 1980s that a classic 3d film revival alloweddial m for murder to be briefly seen theatrically , albeit in a " faux 3d " 70 mm composite print .

hitchcock and dial m ( sd ; 21 : 37 ) is a good background piece that features a lot of peter bogdanovich ( some will argue too much of him ) , along with robert osborne , m . night shyamalan , richard franklin ( who did psycho ii ) , pat hitchcock o ' connell , richard schickel , and nat benchley .

the film earned an estimated $ 2 . 7 million at the north american box office in 1954 . [ 8 ] dial m for murder marked the end of the brief flirtation with 3 - d films of the early 1950s . hitchcock said of 3 - d , " it ' s a nine - day wonder , and i came in on the ninth day . " [ 9 ]

as i said before , i think this film is really talky . i learned from the credits that dial m for murder was adapted from a play , so that probably has something to do with it . usually i’m fine with talking ; in fact , i generally prefer it to action . there was some action during the attempted murder / self defense scene , but that was about it . the problem for me was what the talking was about ; it was either explaining detailed plans or idle everyday talk with murder scheming underneath it . there just wasn’t much emotion it in . while there was the tension of tony trying to get all of his designs to come together , it wasn’t enormous or overwhelming . after a while it was just more of the same .

sixteen seasons with great lakes theater : directing credits at glt : macbeth , misery , hamlet , and then there were none , dial “m” for murder , deathtrap , blithe spirit , romeo and juliet , the two gentlemen of verona , a midsummer night’s dream , twelfth night , the comedy of errors , macbeth , all’s well that ends well , hay fever , the importance of being . . .

tony wendice has married his wife for her money and now plans to murder her for the same reason . he arranges the perfect murder by blackmailing a scoundrel he used to know into strangling her at a time when he has the perfect alibi . however , the wife turns the tables on her murderer ! her cunning husband now sees his hireling’s death as an opportunity to have his wife convicted for murder . unbearable suspense ensues . made into a hit movie by alfred hitchcock .

hitchcock , grace kelly , ray milland , bob cummings , and the entire cast of dial m for murder were just excellent . i have seen this movie so many times that i can practically say the sentence right along with the actor . but , good acting and a good plot never grow old . this movie could stand up to today ' s mysteries and rise above them for acting , content and suspense . one of the all - time great views .

so is " dial m for murder " worth buying in 3d ? sure - - if you don ' t already own it from one of its previous dvd releases , or if you ' ve always wanted to see it in 3d . it ' s a still a fantastic film , after all , and the high - def transfer , though lacking , doesn ' t cheapen it in any way .

bottom line : don ' t expect sharp , elegant perfection from ' dial m for murder . ' though this blu - ray release probably represents the original film better than any other home video rendering , its inherent watchability level falls far below the standards set by other hitchcock blu - ray releases . but then again , no other hitchcock releases were saddled with 3d . therein lies the rub , and that ' s why i ' m giving this transfer middle - of - the - road marks instead of a failing grade .

i ' m not sure why hitchcock never really owned dial m for murder . perhaps it was because he owed warner brothers a film and just wanted it out of the way before his move to paramount . perhaps the tacky novelty of shooting in 3d irritated him ( although by all accounts he did an artisan ' s job of that too , even if most cinemas chose to run the standard version ) . maybe he was bored by a story that , bar the attempted murder , relies little on surprise or suspense to entertain the audience : it ' s less whodunit , more hedunit and will he get away with it ?

boasting that the 15 3d classics in its library are more than those of any other studio , warner home video hints at a string of other classic 3d releases to come , starting with the 1953 vincent price classic " house of wax . " ( a release date hasn ' t been announced . ) unlike in " dial m for murder , " however , it will be much more important for warner to get the technical elements right for that release , as its story is far lesser than the one hitchcock had to work with .

the third episode of the sixth season of frasier is titled " dial m for martin " . the plot centres on the title character ' s father believing that his younger son is subconsciously trying to kill him when he is beset by a series of mishaps seemingly caused by frasier ' s younger brother , niles .

after 1953 ' s i confess , hitchcock planned to film the bramble bush , based on the 1948 novel by david duncan , as a transatlantic pictures production , with partner sidney bernstein . however , there were problems with the script and budget , and hitchcock and bernstein decided to dissolve their partnership . warner bros . allowed hitchcock to scrap the movie , and begin production on dial m for murder .

as gimmicks go , the new 3d transfer is a fun one . with halloween around the corner , the timing couldn ' t be better , either . but , as with so many of its modern big - screen cousins , the addition of 3d to " dial m for murder " is just that - - a gimmick , little more than a cinematic curiosity . in fact , outside of one scene - - and if you ' ve seen the film , you know exactly the made - for - 3d scene i ' m talking about - - it really doesn ' t add a whole lot .

a perfect murder is a 1998 remake directed by andrew davis and starring michael douglas and gwyneth paltrow .

tony wendice is arguably the main character of “dial m for murder” , which is unusual as he is also arguably to antagonist . tony wendice is a tennis star with a sagging career , the husband of a woman , margo , who has ceased to love him in favor of another man . tony , who is revealed to be plotting his wife’s murder , is the living embodiment of calm , cool , and collected . his lack of passion when contemplating his wife’s murder suggests he may have sociopathic tendencies . in addition to being levelheaded , tony is subtly manipulative , as well as likable , able to misdirect individuals to suit his own purposes .

four seasons at great lakes theater : previously at great lakes theater : performance stage manager for dial “m” for murder and deathtrap , assistant stage manager for les misérables , the merry wives of windsor , sweeney todd and guys & dolls . additional stage management credits include : the secret garden , dial “m” for murder , steel magnolias , les misérables ( idaho shakespeare festival ) ; evgeny onegin ( opera idaho ) ; yentl ( cleveland play house ) ; water ways , the secret social , standing on ceremony , poor little lulu ( cleveland public theatre ) ; antony and cleopatra , burt dow , much ado about nothing , measure for measure , elizabeth rex , dying city , brilliant traces ( stonington opera house , me ) ; red light winter , fefu and her friends , passion play , how i learned to drive ( bard college fisher center , ny ) ; septimus and clarissa ( ripe time , ny ) ; futurity ( here arts center , ny ) ; pitch ( lamama , etc . , ny ) ; and waxing west ( dramalabbet , stockholm ) . jennifer is the production manager for conni’s avant garde restaurant ( nyc - based performance ensemble ) and previously for the cleveland , oh station hope multi - arts event .

' dial m for murder ' doesn ' t rank among hitchcock ' s best films , due to its talky nature and static presentation , but there ' s still a lot to like about it . the tight , intelligent plot , fine performances by ray milland and grace kelly , and novelty of the 3d effects make this cat - and - mouse mystery both stimulating and entertaining . while warner ' s audio transfer suffices , the video transfer will certainly frustrate fans , and supplements are far too thin for a hitchcock title . at times , the story gets bogged down in minutia , but it ' s refreshing to watch a thriller that doesn ' t have any holes . though ' dial m for murder ' can ' t hold a candle to ' rear window ' or ' vertigo , ' it still rates a mild recommendation based on the film itself . it is hitchcock , after all , and mediocre hitchcock still outclasses the best of other directors time and again .

jack warner was one of the famed warner brothers , and for many years ran the hollywood studio that bore his family ' s name . over the course of several decades , jack made both good and bad decisions . one of the good ones was striking a deal with alfred hitchcock to helm a handful of movies in the early 1950s , and one of the bad ones was forcing the legendary director to shoot ' dial m for murder , ' an adaptation of frederick knott ' s popular stage play , in 3d . when ' dial m ' went into production in 1953 , the 3d craze was at its peak , but by the time warner released the film in 1954 , the passing fad had all but passed , and very few theaters ever exhibited this thriller in its intended format . even worse , hitchcock hated 3d and , according to his leading lady , grace kelly , felt " terribly encumbered and frustrated " by the process , which constricted the freedom of his camera and almost eliminated the creative angles he was so fond of employing in his movies . as a result , ' dial m for murder , ' even in 3d , stands as a second - rate hitchcock flick , and one of the master ' s least interesting films from a visual perspective .

now , almost 60 years later - - and despite an occasional reliance on matte shots that , depending on whom you ask , either a ) remind viewers of the film ' s age or b ) lend it a certain nostalgic charm - - it all still stands up as a highly entertaining and wonderfully suspenseful example of a filmmaker taking obvious pleasure in toying with his audience . in other words , " dial m for murder " is hitchcock being pure hitchcock .

this is one of my favorite murder mysteries . throughout the movie the suspense builds . this is a clean movie

as two couples are visiting niagara falls , tensions between one wife and her husband reach the level of murder .

' dial m for murder ' is civilized drama on steroids . the characters all speak with perfect diction , precisely pronouncing all their lines , and always maintain proper decorum . tony and his hired killer , a former school chum turned small - time hood , converse seriously but with genteel charm , and the few intimate moments margot spends with her lover are as stiff as a british upper lip . even the suspicious detective ( john williams ) examining the crime keeps a cool and pleasant demeanor throughout , never raising his voice , never showing the slightest hint of agitation . when characters are cornered , they look slyly askew ; when margot cries , she avoids a complete breakdown . everything stays on such an even keel throughout - with the exception of the murder scene - ' dial m for murder ' becomes more of an intellectual exercise than an emotional one . wondering if tony will get caught and how the cocky bastard might trip up are the issues that keep us involved , but without much physicality or human tension , the story can leave one cold .
