A young, wealthy, bedridden wife (Barbara Stanwyck) overhears two men plotting the murder of an unidentified woman on a crossed telephone line and begins to suspect that one of the voices is her husband's (Burt Lancaster). She becomes frantic. Her terror is intensified by mysterious calls from an old college rival and a friend of her father. With time running out, she pieces evidence together that leads her to suspect that her husband wants her murdered. A classic, extraordinary example of cumulative suspense and paranoia, Sorry, Wrong Number was based on a radio play by Louise Fletcher, who also wrote the screenplay. Barbara Stanwyck received an Oscar nomination for her magnificent performance.
