Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Fact Checking

This entry needs some fact-checking. There is more than one setting for the film; I can remember at least two (the husband at a meeting in a restaurant, getting conflicting reports on what time it is), as well as a shot of an exterior. Also, must no plot go above the spoiler warning? Isn't plot more central to what the film is than who's acted in it and the ISBN of the screenplay? Also, why is the still in black and white when the film is in color (filmed, incidentally, in 3D)? Koyaanis Qatsi, who's not seen the film recently enough to feel confident editing the article much.

Shouldn't this be listed as a play that's been made into a film, rather than as a film from a stage play. The play is still popular. I saw it last year. Mintguy 10:35 Apr 27, 2003 (UTC)

Good point. And maybe the author meant that the play has only one setting; that may well be. Did it? Koyaanis Qatsi

Yes. Mintguy

[edit] BBC TV series

I just found out there was a 1974 BBC series of Dial M for Murder but is not mentioned here. Anyone else know about this?--Rachel Mules 23:52, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps this article should probably be moved to Dial M for Murder (film), with the present title serving as a disambiguation page, pointing to all known versions. I think we should have an article about the play. TheMadBaron 10:29, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Gracedial.jpg

Image:Gracedial.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
