Dial+M+for+Murder

In the movie Dial M for Murder, the husband will get caught in his plot to have his wife killed. It will also be discovered that he tried to make it look like she murdered the hitman ruthlessly when his plan backfired. The man she was having an affair with will help the detective find a flaw in the conclusion that the court has come to and that the husband has supported. Evidence will reveal the husband's lies. Perhaps the detective will discover that the letter found on the dead man was in fact placed there by the husband. Somehow, it could be discovered that the husband actually stole the purse from his wife in order to get the letter. This instance would be hard to prove however because the wife is now in jail and is unable to testify with any suspicions she has towards her husband. Also, there is an apparent lack of motive for the husband, because the police think he had no prior knowledge of the affair of his wife and the novelist. The husband may be caught in his connection with the man he hired to kill his wife. The two went to college together, and he claims to have not seen the man since besides at the train station when his wife's purse was stolen. The maid or a friend of the man hired (and later killed) may be able to testify to him having met the husband days prior to the attempted murder. Physical evidence that is more solid than motives and questioning may trap the husband as well. There seems to be a problem with how the man got into the apartment to try to kill the woman. There are only two keys, and when the detective came, both husband and wife had one. If the novelist and the detective can prove that the husband did not have his key the entire night of the attempted murder, it could be figured that he left it for the hitman. Also, if the detective and novelist realize the suspicousness of the time of the kiling and the time the phone call (very close to eachother) they may realize that the husband was involved. Lastly, if the detective determines the husband to be a suspect of setting up a murder, he may interview people at the dinner party the husband attended that night. Fellow diners would testify that the husband was acting very strange, and that he seemed upset by the fact that his watch had stopped.
