'Sorry, Wrong Number' isn't a film that leaves a strong lasting impression, but its narrative and visual inventiveness and a thoroughly engaging plot make it an enjoyable journey into 40s film noir. If anything, you leave it with a great appreciation for Lucille Fletcher's devilishly simple premise, one that certainly isn't dulled by the transition from radio to cinema. - Daniel Lammin Read Daniel's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-sorry-wrong-number-an-inventive-slice-of-1940s-film-noir
