10 Iconic Images From Alfred Hitchcock Films

9. Reaching Out

In this image from Dial M For Murder, Margot (Grace Kelly) is the victim of an attempted murder orchestrated by her husband Tony (Ray Milland). Dial M For Murder was actually one of the early 3D films, so when Margot's hand reaches out, it came off the screen, giving the sense, as many have said, that she's reaching out to the audience for help. This is before she manages to save herself-by stabbing her assailant in the back with scissors.
