One misdialed telephone call... one overheard murder plot... and one of radio's greatest psychological thrillers.
☎️ One of the most unforgettable suspense dramas ever written comes to life in this remarkable Australian production of Lux Radio Theatre's Sorry, Wrong Number, starring the incomparable Miriam Hopkins.
Confined to her bed, an invalid woman accidentally overhears what appears to be two men calmly arranging a murder over a crossed telephone connection. As the evening wears on, every desperate attempt to convince the police, the telephone company, and her husband that the danger is real is met with delay, skepticism, or indifference.
What follows is one of radio's finest examples of mounting psychological tension—where every passing minute brings the unseen killer closer.
Originally written by Lucille Fletcher, Sorry, Wrong Number remains one of the greatest suspense stories ever created for radio, inspiring countless adaptations while never losing the terrifying intimacy that only the spoken word can achieve.
If you enjoy classic mysteries, vintage suspense, old-time radio, and unforgettable performances, this is a broadcast you won't want to miss.
