[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 312666, member: 5079"] Yes, although the original radio broadcast (with Agnes Moorehead) was even tauter and mysterious; with no backstory, the listener didn't even know [I]why[/I] someone was trying to kill the woman, which made it even more suspenseful. SORRY, WRONG NUMBER is a nifty noir thriller, but I mostly give it credit for having a thoroughly [I]unlikeable [/I]protagonist. That was uncommon in the era. Sure, there were lots of "bitches" in the noir genre or 40s melodramas, but they're usually so slick that the audience is drawn to them. This lady is just a pain in the ass. She's so shrill and neurotic, I [I]wanted[/I] her to get murdered. [/QUOTE]
