get rid Of whom first.
The situation thuse set up
is that Of q clever man who
plans a tidy homicide that will
be least messy, and detachable,
if carried out in premises that
give him the greatest degree Of
control. Where could he find
a better place than his own
living room?
Hitchcock, the most agile Of
directors, himself could think
Of none. He therefore left the
situation where he found it,
in that fashionable West Lon
don fats living room.
Actually, the fast paced
action Of dial M for Murder
is confined largely to that
which takes place inside the
husband character played by
Ray Milland. He is q man
who has worked out what he
thinks is the perfect crime. It
is also cleverly flexible. The
audience is permitted to see
it unfold in its every minute
detail and, most excitingly, in
those details which must in
stantly be adjusted due to the
unpredictable. behavior of one
or another Of those involved.

NEW 1Oft6A.
The late Arthur Hopkins,
Broadway producer Of distinc-
ton, overrode all objections of
his associates and picked
Humphrey Bogart to play the
gangster, Duke Mantee, in
Robert Sherwood's "Petrified
Forest" when the play went
into rehearsal in 1894. His
production associates were
Gilbert Miller and Leslie How
ard, who were just as startled
at Hopkins choice Of Bogart
as was Sherwood. Not, mind
you, that there were any per-
sonal grudges against Bogart.
But he'd played so many coun-
try club roles on Broadway
stages that nobody, apart from
the discerning Hopkins. could
visualize him as a mobster.
That was 20 years ago. To-
day, Bogart is still going

The Passing Show
Hitchcock Stands Pat
His Dial NJ About Size Of Stage PIoy,
Is BIithe, Spirited Thriller Also
By jay Cormody

There is a hint in the at
mosphere around here that
some one is about to be incon-
sistent. Or perhaps even to
commit critical hereSy.
If that should happen,
blame it on Director Alfred
Hitchcock whose shoulders are
so pounds less broad than they
used to be, but still broader
than most.
The particular critical dog
ma which Hitchcock inspires
this department to challenge
is that a movie Is hopelessly
f1awed If it looks almost like
the stage play from which it is
taken. AS a rule, this is true.
The stage is one thing and the
camera is another. The former
Is rigidly restricted, the latter
has the world to roam in.
Others Different
It is on the basis Of this rule
that this department has
Joined enthusiastically in belt
ing the lack of imagination
shown in uncounted movies.
The most recent of these, if
memory serves, was the revue,
New Faces" With all that
vibrant new talent and bril-
liantly fresh material, this cor
ner took the position that it
was sinful to make the film a
photograph Of the stage pro-
duction. An orchid wrapped
In burlap was the general i'm
preston with which most
critics, this one included, came
away from New Faces"
Now, however, comes Hitch
cocks latest thriller. Dial M
for Murder" It is not a precise
duplicate-or completely can
did photographed the orig
inal Maurice Evans stage pro-
duction. With the exception
Of q few asides, such as an ex-
terror Of the fiat, the corridor
leading to the living room door
and q mems club dining room,
the area covered is identical,
however.
But No Disney
This admirer of both ver-
sions Of Frederick Knott's ur-
bane thriller found himself
surprisingly undismayed at the
lack Of expansion in the film
story scene. No one, he told
himself. ever used space and
movement more dramatically
than Hitchcock; for one
example. THE Lady Vanishes."
Yet in the case of Dial M
for Murder" here was the di-
rector accepting the rigorous
confinement of the stage play.
Also, here was this disciple of
dogma accepting Hitchcock's
acceptance of it with no more
than a reflexive quibble.
Why?
The answer seems to lie in
the fact that Dramatist
Knott's script-which was first
a television play, then a play
and, finally, NOVELS at its
taut, flashingly comic best
when it is tighteSt in its writ
ing. Obviously this is what
Hitchcock thought when he
first laid eyes on the work and
decided it was for him.
Attacked. as he no doubt will
be for thinking so, a good case
can be made for Dial M for
Murder" as the exception to
the rule that the area Of q
movie must be expanded.
The Perfect Crime
It's theme generally is the
perfect crime, specifically the
plan of a fading international
tennis star to get rid Of his
rich, beautiful young wife be-
fore she doffs him in favor Of
the other man. He comedies.

Joe gave up his T'v show in

leaving his beautiful bride too
often. "de might do another

About buying q big house in q

she says that story also is not
true. "A few years ago Joe
bought q house for his family,
and that's where well live in
