Sorry Wrong Number
Leona Stevenson(Barbara Stanwyck) is a neurotic, bedridden daughter of a wealthy pharmaceutical magnate. Due to a crossed telephone line, she overhears a conversation between 2 men planning a murder to take place that night. Unable to leave the house or contact her henpecked husband Henry( Bert Lancaster), she recalls her past in a series of flashbacks, whilst making desperate phone calls to identify the intended victim.
I found this a gripping, highly stylised film noir; dark, full of suspense and well written.Starring Barbara Stanwyck with a terrific performance which earned her an Academy Best Actress nomination, and a young Bert Lancaster who performs very well in a mysterious role.
