Dial M for Murder –
After marrying his wife Margot for her money, Tony is convinced that she’s having an affair – but as the affair comes to an end Tony weaves a web of suspicion, deception, and betrayal that draws their world in tighter and leads to danger and yes – murder. Adapted from the play that inspired the classic Hitchcock crime thriller by Jeffrey Hatcher (TV’s Columbo), this edge-of-your-seat-hold-your-breath crime thriller is sure to intrigue and delight audiences.
