Incredible suspense thriller from 1948. Barbara Stanwyck was superb and Burt Lancaster was excellent also. Highly recommend!!!

Sorry, Wrong Number is a thriller you want to see! It has very much mystery to it, and Barbara Stanwyck is absolutely stunning in this movie.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Sorry, Wrong Number" !
