A hugely successful player in the New York financial world, he considers her to be his most treasured acquisition. But she needs more than simply the role of dazzling accessory. Brilliant in her own right, she works at the U.N. and is involved with a struggling artist who fulfills her emotional needs. When her husband discovers her indiscretion, he sets out to commit the perfect murder and inherit her considerable trust fund in the bargain. IMDB

Review:
A wonderful remake of Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder. There aren't many remakes that I enjoy, but this is definately one of them! The story (plot) is redone in a way that works with the time period. And a great cast doesn't hurt, too!

Definately a must-see without any disappointments!
