Wrong Number is a 1959 British second feature[1] crime film directed by Vernon Sewell and starring Peter Reynolds, Lisa Gastoni and Olive Sloane.[2] It was written by James Eastwood and Norman Edwards.
It was produced at Merton Park Studios in London. The film's sets were designed by the art director Wilfred Arnold.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A routine crime thriller, not always persuasive (the robbery scenes are quite unconvincing) and – apart from Olive Sloane's amusingly larger-than-life character study – uninteresting in performance."[3]
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Most unconvincing monor thriller; Olive Sloane's ripe performance at least punctuates the groans."[4]
