Dial M for Murder
Fed up with your wife?
I want rid of mine, too, but I want to keep my house.
Thing is, she bores me.
And her taste is utterly appalling, she’s just so kitsch.
So let’s do each other a favour.
Get yourself an ironclad alibi, call me, and I’ll bump off your missus.
Then you eliminate mine.
But remember, don’t try to cross me.
I know where you live.
Dear CE,
I’d love to know what his wife thinks of him. Oy. If kitsch were grounds for murder I’d be in big trouble.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Probably best not to know, m’lady, she might think that his taste gets squashed every time he sits down
Kitsch as a motive for murder! Well, why not? I’m sure it’s been done for less. Good one, C.E. By coincidence, we had re-watched this Hitchcock thriller just a few days ago.
I guess some folk are just too sensitive, Dora!
And yes, great movie
Very Hitchcockian.
An extremely … erm … interesting piece of art from Mr B this week!
I guess Dogs Playing Poker is more your style, Keith!
This reminded me of the movie, Strangers on a Train, another Hitchcock classic.
Yes, Big Alf had a bit of a thing for uxoricide, didn’t he!
Oh my! A nice take.
Thank you, Susan, I do like an occasional ‘Oh my!’
Nice one. It fair gave me the chills!
And the art work is spectacular.
Just a wee bit uxoricide between friends, Jenne.
And yes, Phil has artwork for every occasion!
Even better if he’s a painter-decorator too, could come in and get rid of the kitsch decor after the exchange is complete :-).
Two birds with one stone, hmm, sounds like a plan, Iain!
