"[A] taut thriller." | ||||
"To make a movie of Lucille Fletcher's classic radio play was really to betray its best idea: that sound, not sight, is the truly paranoid sense." | ||||
"'Sorry, Wrong Number' is a real chiller. Film is a fancily dressed co-production by Hal B. Wallis and Anatole Litvak. Pair has smoothly coordinated efforts to give strong backing to the Lucille Fletcher script" | ||||
"Perhaps if you have a special interest in foul folks and morbidities, you will thrill to this Hal Wallis picture. Frankly, we squirmed -- and not from dread." | ||||
"Stanwyck and Lancaster turning in solid work that is, for the most part, far better and more engrossing than the material generally deserves" |
