DIAL M FOR MURDER is an excellent choice...but how about A STREETCAR NAMED
DESIRE, or CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF, or WHO'S ARAID OF VIRGINIA WOLFF, or WATCH ON
THE RHINE? Those are among my favorites.
This, of course, assumes that you are exclding MUSICAL plays, as a separate
category...because then you'd have to add in THE SOUND OF MUSIC, MY FAIR LADY,
WEST SIDE STORY, THE KING AND I ...and on and on...

what's your favorite Movie from a play? i believe that the answer should be a
movie that had few changes from the play.
mine is: DIAL M FOR MURDER
Dial M for Murder premiered in 1952 as a BBC television play, before being
performed on the stage in the same year (West End in June, and then Broadway in
October).
honorable mentions:
The Children's Hour
The Bad Seed (interesting how the film version changed the ending from the
play)
