And it helped that this time I knew a bit about Staten Island!Martin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082485795280777670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-68698756921852905392021-03-10T19:03:39.744+00:002021-03-10T19:03:39.744+00:00Well, that doesn't tempt me (smiley face). B...Well, that doesn't tempt me (smiley face). But, on the plus side your review encouraged me to go and watch Sorry, Wrong Number again. I remember it as being a fairly standard film noir but it's actually more a Hitchcockian suspenser much like Suspicion or Notorious and even has the economy of Hitchcock, not only literally in the brilliant backdrop montage honeymoon sequence (ha), with a great roving camera opening minute giving you everything you need to know about the characters (much like the opening of Rear Window). Stanwyck's father is particularly disturbing (no spoiler but that room) and I love the many shots of her with her father's photo just over her shoulder or behind her like a creeping presence forever in her life, no wonder Burt was a bit miffed. The father photo thing reminded me of the brilliant and scary Hammer horror Scream/Taste of Fear. Oh dear, I'm rambling. arkady hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02750602730958147871noreply@blogger.com
