Alfred Hitchcocks filmversjon av Frederick Knotts teatersuksess Dial M for Murder, er en smakfull blanding av eleganse og spenning. Grace Kelly, Ray Milland og Robert Cummings er hjørnene i en romantisk trekant. Hun elsker Cummings, hennes mann Milland planlegger å myrde henne. Men når hun ringer et sentralbord i Mayfair for å sette i gang plottet, får hans riktige nummer feil svar – og en skinnende saks blir et dødelig våpen. Dette er spenningens mester på sitt mest elegante. Kelly ble tildelt New York Film Critics og National Board of Reviews pris for Beste Skuespillerinne for denne og to andre kritikerroste opptredener hun gjorde i 1954 (Hitchcocks Rear Window og hennes Oscar-belønte innsats i The Country Girl).
