If you loved The Night of the Generals, try Sorry, Wrong Number

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Anatole Litvak, and they both carry the paranoid mood tag, and they sit in Mystery / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Night of the Generals, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Sorry, Wrong Number is

New York. Afternoon light. A phone receiver. Leona, bedridden, overhears a pair of men planning a murder. Frantic, she tries to alert the authorities, but becomes entangled in a web of deceit, betrayal, and deadly secrets. Noir fatalism at its most claustrophobic.
