Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

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)
