Editorial Review:
Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster star in Sorry, Wrong Number, an odd telephonic thriller that starts off with a bang. Stanwyck, playing a shrill invalid, is at home alone and phoning around to find her husband. Thanks to a crossed wire, she overhears a murder plot, but she can barely get anyone to pay attention to her, let alone believe her. The rest of the film is played out in telephone conversations and flashbacks as our increasingly frightened heroine tries to find her husband and unravel the murder. Stanwyck, as always, gives a terrific performance, managing to make her character both unlikeable and compelling at the same time. Lancaster, as her kept husband, is handsome, virile, and trapped all at once. The plot, expanded to a film from a tight, dark little radio play, wanders at times but gathers itself back together for a corker of an ending. --Ali Davis

My mother and I watched this movie when I was a pre teen, many years ago now. I knew I had to own it. It's a wonderfully written murder mystery that isn't so intricate that you lose interest this movie definetly keeps you on your toes.
Rating:  - Sorry Wrong Number
Movie was good, not what I expected but good, worth watching if you like movies that stay in the same setting. (kind of remind me of the movie "The Phone Booth") .
Rating: - great film
Disturbing, mesmerizing. It shows that sometimes there are no second chances in life. Great performances. Stanwick and Lancaster are terrific. Hollywood is not all about happy endings.
Rating: - Classic Film Noir
Classic film noir about an invaled woman who overhears a plot on the telephone to murder a woman, whom she becomes convinced that is her.
