A COMPARE AND CONTRAST BETWEEN DIAL M FOR MURDER AND A PERFECT MURDER

There's a huge similarity between Grace Kelly and Gwyneth Paltrow.  Let's start with the obvious.  Grace Kelly and Gwyneth Paltrow almost nearly has the same hairstyle.  Grace Kelly and Gwyneth Paltrow almost nearly has the same wordrobe style.  Grace Kelly and Gwyneth Paltrow almost nearly has the same personalities.  Plus, Grace Kelly and Gwyneth Paltrow has a first name that starts with the letter G.  Another similarity is that Grace Kelly and Gwyneth Paltrow are second generation Hollywood royalty.  Grace Kelly is the second generation Hollywood royalty daughter of pro athlete John Brendan Kelly, Sr., aka Jack Kelly.  Jack Kelly is the world famous Mens Rowing Campion and winner of three Olympic Gold Medals.

Gwyneth Paltrow is the second generation Hollywood Royalty daughter of film director Bruce Paltrow and film actress Blyth Danner.

Grace Kelly and Gwyneth Paltrow made the same exact movie.  A move that Grace Kelly starred in entitled Dial M For Murder (Released in May 29, 1954, it's a film in which a homicidal guy finds out that his wife had an adultry affair, convinces the adulterer to kill her off for insurance money)....
 








....is remaide into a film starring Gwyneth Paltrow entitled A Perfect Murder (Released in June 5, 1998, it's a film in which Michael Dougless (playing against typecasting as the main villain) finds out that his wife had been having an adultry affair convinces the adulterer to try to kill her off for insurance money).


 













Ok, so maybe the Gentle Reader can argue that Grace Kelly married European Royalty and Gwyneth Paltrow married a rock star.  Grace Kelly gave birth to two daughters and a son.  Gwyneth Paltrow only has one son and one daughter.  Still, despite the differences, the similarities are rather striking.
