Barbara Stanwyck stars as bedridden hy pochondriac Leona Stevenson, who while trying to make a call from her be droom telephone gets her wires crossed and inadvertently overhears two men plotting a murder. Anxiously, Leona wades through telephone-company bureaucracy to trace the ca ll, never catching on — until it's too late — that the murder being planned is hers. A series of flashbacks details the disintegrati ng marriage between the wealthy Leona and her weakling husband Henry (Burt Lancaster), and Henry's subsequent disastrous get-ri ch-qu ick schemes involving chemist Waldo Evans (Harold Vermilyea) and a surly gangster (William Conrad). It would have been a near-sacril ege t o alter the radio play's ironic ending, which fortunately remains intact on film. Sorry Wrong Number was first heard on radio's Suspense series in 1943, with Agnes Moorehead as the harried Mrs. Stevenson (a role she 'd repeat several times on radio and on stag e). Though disappointed tha t she wasn't chosen to star in the film version, Moorehead took some sat isfaction in the fact that a reco rding of the original radio program wa s played constantly on the set to help keep Barbara Stanwyck "in the moo d". Review: Packed with extras, it's well worth the price - Sorry wrong number is a gripping story. Barbara Stanwyck is at her best in this movie. I particullarly like the Hold the Phone: The making of Sorry Wrong Number included in the bonus section. I found the blue-ray edition to be an excellent, flawless transfer of the movie. Two commentary tracks are included as well. Burt Lancaster give a great performance as well. The recording of the 1950 Lux Radio play with Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster is included as well. Lots more extras. Review: BONE CHILLING EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME - Up until recently, I have only watched bits & pieces of this film. The actors, are gorgeous, the scenery is lush and the (Edith Head) costumes are so fabulous. B. Stanwyck's engagement ring is sparklingly stellar. We have NO question on who paid for this ring. Not her downtrodden husband!. Her controlling and manipulating, rich girl ways are unnerving and disturbing. Burt Lancaster as her poor boy, put upon, but very sinister husband, is remarkable and difficult to watch at times. Burt, is super handsome, very young and so swarthy. He is sharp as a tack, highly intelligent, and plays a bored out of his skull employee, in his Father-in-Law's company. His wife, B. Stanwyck denergrates and demeans him, constantly with her sharp tongue and snobbish ways. She is always reminding about HER Father, His company and HER $$$$$$$. Divorcing her is not an option. There are no children (heirs) to consider. Barbara Stanwyck's shrill voice and ongoing cries for Burt's immediate and constant attention, makes the viewer aware of her deep insecurities, the narcisissim and her intense, profound selfishness. I will watch the film again, because I was stunned by the bone chilling effects of this film. I love film noir, and this is the most intense and most bone chilling out of all of the older film noir movies that I have ordered. I cannot even imagine, how the original audience perceived this film when it was first released? The performances from all of the actors is outstanding. Edith Head's designs are lovely and beautiful. The bedroom setting for B. Stanwyck is lush and luxurious. while she fritters away her life whining about being an invalid, with a terrible heart condition. She has no heart condition and is NOT really an invalid. What she really is? a deeply disturbed and manipulative wife. I felt sorry for Burt L. It's a great film, so intricate and enthralling with a very intense script, the ending is truly chilling, even today. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Color | Unknown | | Contributor | Anatole Litvak, Ann Richards, Ashley Cowan, Barbara Stanwyck, Burt Lancaster, Dorothy Neumann, Ed Begley, Garry Owen, Grace Poggi, Harold Vermilyea, Igor Dega, Jimmy Hunt, John Bromfield, Joyce Compton, Leif Erickson, Pepito Pérez, Tito Vuolo, Wendell Corey, William Conrad, Yola d'Avril Contributor Anatole Litvak, Ann Richards, Ashley Cowan, Barbara Stanwyck, Burt Lancaster, Dorothy Neumann, Ed Begley, Garry Owen, Grace Poggi, Harold Vermilyea, Igor Dega, Jimmy Hunt, John Bromfield, Joyce Compton, Leif Erickson, Pepito Pérez, Tito Vuolo, Wendell Corey, William Conrad, Yola d'Avril See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,554 Reviews | | Format | Black & White, Multiple Formats, NTSC | | Genre | Classics, Drama, Mystery & Suspense/Thrillers | | Runtime | 1 hour and 29 minutes | ## Images ![Sorry, Wrong Number - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ekkyOicyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Packed with extras, it's well worth the price *by R***N on March 30, 2026* Sorry wrong number is a gripping story.
