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.[1]: 147 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]
