Sorry, Wrong Number

“Tangled Wires... Whispering of Murder! Tangled Lives... Fighting to Escape!”

Leona Stevenson (Barbara Stanwyck) is confined to her bed and keeps hold of the world through the telephone beside her. One day the line crosses with another call, and she hears two men planning a murder, then spends the hours trying to learn who the victim is. Anatole Litvak puts her and her husband Henry (Burt Lancaster) at the center, a marriage that reaches across a house through a phone.
