Too aged. Its false modernism rests in its real time narration, but it is destroyed but too long pone conversations, !treated as flashbacks with their own pace!

Anatole Litvak finally does something with his camera besides plop it down and film his actors as though they were performing on a stage. He pushes it into star Barbara Stanwyck’s face so we can count every drop of sweat that forms across her brow and upper lip while she lies in bed and frantically uses the phone. It’s far more engaging than it sounds, as Stanwyck was one of the greatest film ... read more

“Anatole Litvak finally does something with his camera besides plop it down and film his actors as though they were performing on a stage. He pushes it into star Barbara Stanwyck’s face so we can count every drop of sweat that forms across her brow and upper lip while she lies in bed and frantically uses the phone. It’s far more engaging than it sounds, as Stanwyck was one of the greatest film artists of all-time. However, Sorry, Wrong Number is betrayed by its radio origins by struggling to not only sustain the tension but pad out the running time. We get a flashback to how Stanwyck met husband Burt Lancaster and stole him from Ann Richards, and the sexual dynamo of Stanwyck gets a chance to shine.
