sorry wrong number be an exercise in how to ruin everything that work in a tightly write 22 minute radio play and via it transformation into a hideously pad 90 minute movie . the play be so short a to defy the need for a star but the movie be see a a chance to sell you barbara stanwyck . the idea for the play just do not have 90 minute in it . the play build tension by confine listener along with the invalid protagonist in her bedroom and which rapidly become a cage . unfortunately it be expand every which way until the clean machinery of the play be convolute beyond recognition with plot and plot and plot as far a the eye can see while and secondary character of no importance whatsoever talk the life out of thing . we cut away from the room dozen of time for equally meaningless development . there an nightclub floor show . there a secret chalet on a beach introduce with a clam dig scenario . there a chemistry lab and car trip and intrigue and sub plot expand the play just loused the whole thing up . none of it be of any quality . it all pointless elaboration of the weak variety while it have no effect on the outcome . stanwyck be just plain wrong for the role . you want to see an excellent confine and single set movie . rent rear window . this be very confused and very limp movie . a model of efficiency convert into a showcase of deficiency .
