Sorry, Wrong Number
Starring Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster
I liked it. It has a lot of elements that I enjoy in a Cohen Brothers movie - in particular a scheme to get ahead goes terribly wrong. A bit melodramatic in parts, but that's the style of the time.
I'm pretty confident in saying that Burt Lancaster deserves remembering much more than he is in comparison to others of the time (Gable and Bogart for example). I'm not sure I've seen anything he's in that I didn't enjoy.
Lancaster was a fine actor with a tremendous body of work. I think his standing in popular culture suffers a bit vs. guys like Gable and Bogart is that Lancaster didn't have that one iconic role like Rhett Butler or Rick Blaine that would cement him in our collective memory. I'd probably say Elmer Gantry or The Birdman of Alcatraz are his most famous performances but neither film approaches the cultural significance of GWTW or Casablanca.
Burt's career also began after the peak of the Hollywood studio system--Gable and Bogart benefited from a decade of type casting by MGM and Warner Brothers respectively. That may not have helped them artistically but it built up their public image. Lancaster on the other hand lived long enough to appear in films by Bertolucci, Visconti and Malle.
