Stanwyck * Sorry, Wrong Number _ Waxman / Lancaster 1948

Barbara Stanwyck at her best, she should've gotten the Oscar for this and Oscars discontinued. Also, the score by Franz Waxman. Notice the simple 3-note motif @ 3:01 being turned into a lavish symphony of horror. Directed by Anatole Litvak, written by Lucille Fletcher.

Stanwyck never received an Oscar for all of her outstanding work in every type of movie she made. She could play any role with such intensity. You have to be Jewish to get that. They come first, and the great ones are last. They own Hollywood, TV and radio. Always have.

@HeatherGlen33 She did receive an Oscar in 1982, an Academy Honorary Award "for superlative creativity and unique contribution to the art of screen acting. Last time I checked, Hepburn wasn't Jewish, neither was Bette Davis. Meryl Streep isn't Jewish either.

Absolute Oscar performance...How she sustained the plot and tension in this movie nearly on her own, partifularly in light of the period is a wonder to behold. We don't judge Restoration Comedy by sitcom sensibility. Nor do we judge this magnificent performance against the modern penchant for substituting casual for real. Thank you!

@MoeWesley you're welcome, I drive by Sutton Place and Queensboro Bridge often and I think of poor Leona all the time! You're correct about carrying the film on her own, and let's not forget that it's often much more difficult to be a film actor than a theater actor, where you don't have sustain the character and the tension in a scene between camera and lighting breaks that can take days. Absolute genius, Ms. Stanwyck.
