SORRY, WRONG NUMBER (1948)

Special Features: 75th Anniversary. Intro by film historian Foster Hirsch on Oct. 21. Intro by film professor David Rothman on Oct. 25

Bedridden heiress Leona Stevenson (Barbara Stanwyck) hears through crossed telephone wires a murder being planned. She tries to alert the police, to no avail, and grows frantic as she gradually realizes she is the intended victim. Stanwyck gives an Oscar®-nominated performance in this engrossing and densely layered extension of the legendary 22-minute radio drama. Featuring Burt Lancaster in one of his earliest roles, mesmerizing direction by Anatole Litvak and atmospheric camerawork by the great Sol Polito, SORRY, WRONG NUMBER is famous…yet still underrated. (Note courtesy of the Film Noir Foundation.) DIR/PROD Anatole Litvak; SCR Lucille Fletcher, from her radio play; PROD Hal B. Wallis. U.S., 1948, b&w, 89 min. NOT RATED
