That could almost be a trailer for The Belles of St. Trininan’s.

Well, since this is apparently Dial M, I can say why that shot is so blurry. (Assuming this is the shot you’re referring to.)
That’s Grace Kelly’s character, but it is not Grace Kelly, as she never went to London for the limited location footage.
After a cut, here she is in the studio in front of some rear projection.

Ah, for the days when a hostile foreign power needed to be secretive about their sinister plot to install a useful dumbass in the White House in order to win over the wholesale support of the Republican Party.

Dial M for Murder - it’s been a while. Doesn’t the whole plot hinge on the main protagonists not having their key to the flat on a key ring with all their other keys, or even some sort of tag?
A key, possibly spare, does get shuffled around as part of the plot, yes.

I just found a GIF of a scene from this film I had be looking for for quite a while, so:
An underrated gem, if you ask me.

Hey thanks, watched it tonight, and it. Was. Wonderful.
Good movie all around really, but of course, she was amazing. So surprised I hadn’t heard of it. Nice to learn of Maud Lewis too.
Thank you!

Peter O’Toole must have had a lot of fun making that film… and especially in the scene where he learned that his performance was going to be shown live.

Well, it’s a Hepburn/Tracy vehicle from the 1950ies, and either you like those or you don’t.
What’s interesting from the viewpoint of technological history is that the film was sponsored by IBM, so it is in part a time capsule of 1950ies computer technology.
