10 Foolproof Movie Methods For Murdering Your Spouse

7. Always Think On Your Feet (Dial M For Murder, 1954)

No matter how diabolically intricate and well-crafted your plan, life has a way of throwing a spanner in the works. That being the case, always be prepared to improvise a new scenario off the cuff. In Dial M For Murder, dear sweet husband Tony blackmails an old acquaintance into murdering his wife Margot... but in a shocking twist she kills her would-be assassin instead. Believing it to be a robbery gone wrong, Margot calls her husband for help - and Tony, thinking on his feet, plants evidence so that his wife is convicted of this unexpected crime. It€™s this kind of genius level gift for improvisation you€™ll need if your peerless plan becomes riddled with holes.
