Dial M for Murder, 1954Here's the original:
Charlize Theron. Photograph by Norman Jean Roy.
The scene in which Charles Alexander Swann (Dawson) attempts to strangle Margot Mary Wendice (Kelly), only to be himself stabbed with a pair of scissors, caused Hitchcock great anxiety. Although the entire film was shot in just 36 days, this single scene required a full week of rehearsals and multiple takes to get the choreography and timing right.

Nicely done, for non-photoshops...The attention paid to details such as lighting balance and composition are exquisite.
Ooo! You're right, DB. Pointing it out makes me notice the composition and lighting more.
They obviously had a lot of fun doing the series.
