Isolated and bedridden with a number of psychosomatic ailments, Leona( Stanwyck) is increasingly driven to hysteria after she hears the plans for her impending murder over the phone. This memorable adaptation of Lucille Fletcher’ s oft-produced radio play imaginatively creates complex backstories for both Leona and her ambitious, duplicitous husband Henry( Lancaster). Sorry Wrong Number’ s“ flashbacks provide an exemplary case of 1940s character shading”( David Bordwell).
