This was another movie I needed to rewatch so I could get my thoughts down for future reference. I remembered a lot of this one. It's an Alfred Hitchcock and has Grace Kelly in it. I have to admit to being somewhat jealous to how good she looked when she came out of prison.
Tony has given up playing tennis, so he has too much time on his hands. His wife, Margot, was having an affair with an American crime-writer, and now he's planning the perfect murder. I mean, he doesn't want to be left without her money. That would be tragic for him. He's very confident in his plan. He's even got an accomplice lined up!
The thing about perfect murders is they don't really happen. Tony thinks he has it all figured out, but Margot is stronger than he thinks, and she survives. The accomplice dies, but now a lot of details need to be explained. Tony flexes his brain, maybe a little too much. I want to mention the inspector since he was amazing. The crime-writer is involved with the investigation, and he becomes important later.
I remember liking this one before, and I liked it again. Once the movie started, it all came flooding back. For some reason, the title didn't immediately connect to the story for me. The acting in this one was pretty good. I liked the Hitchcock cameo, and the whole movie was just worth my time. Good Movie!
