Product Description:
A BEDRIDDEN HEIRESS PHONES HER HUSBAND AND OVERHEARS TWO MEN PLOTTING HER MURDER.
Amazon.com:
Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster star in Sorry, Wrong Number, an odd telephonic thriller that starts off with a bang. Stanwyck, playing a shrill invalid, is at home alone and phoning around to find her husband. Thanks to a crossed wire, she overhears a murder plot, but she can barely get anyone to pay attention to her, let alone believe her. The rest of the film is played out in telephone conversations and flashbacks as our increasingly frightened heroine tries to find her husband and unravel the murder. Stanwyck, as always, gives a terrific performance, managing to make her character both unlikeable and compelling at the same time. Lancaster, as her kept husband, is handsome, virile, and trapped all at once. The plot, expanded to a film from a tight, dark little radio play, wanders at times but gathers itself back together for a corker of an ending. --Ali Davis

Sorry, Wrong Number
Exciting 1948 thriller based on a 45 minute radio play, starring Barbara Stanwyck as the paranoid, controlling rich woman, daughter of a rich drug company tycoon. She falls in love and steals a man from a girlfriend of hers played by Ann Richards. The Ann Richards character reminded me of Inger Stevens in a lot of ways -- sneaky, shy and cute. Burt Lancaster plays the rough man from a poor neighborhood who becomes a milk-toast of a husband to Leona.

Additionally she has developed a psychosomatic cardiac condition and her only contact with the outer world is her telephone.

We realize early on that Barbara Stanwyck's character is a "little off," that she is playing her invalidcy to the hilt. What kind of a marital relationship is this? We have all seen this strange kind of co-dependency in which the invalid uses emotional blackmail on the people encompased by the small sphere around them, and those encompassed love/hate catering to them. It starts subtly, then turns literally into a "man-eating monster," wanting more, more, more attention, creating more, more, more drama ... Read More

I saw a remake of SORRY, WRONG NUMBER that starred Lonnie Anderson and was made for TV. Anyway, that show stayed with me all these years and so when I learned that it was a remake of this psychological thriller starring Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster, I just had to check out the original. And it does not disappoint!
The movie is about a bed bound woman who over hears a plot to kill someone at 11:15 at night when her phone lines get crossed with another party. Through a serious of phone calls ... Read More

Basically a Hitchcock imitation, but of the highest quality, is this little Thriller from the golden age of the genre.
Barbera Stanwyck won a well deserved Oscar as a bed ridden woman who overhears her planned death over the telephone and tries to piece together her ensuing fate. Will she die or is it her imagination?
The film is very well handled and far from conventional. The characters are complex and the mystery that unravels is both intriguing in it's harsh expectedness and yet, ... Read More
