Suspense or whichever old-time radio first did ``Sorry, Wrong Number'' did re-dramatizations of this many, many times. Between the frequent repeats and that, while, yes you can feel for Leona's plight, she also spends about twenty minutes calling people and screaming at them to do something about an impossibly sliver clue, and if I start out in a slightly foul mood it doesn't take long to be really at peace with her fate.

It does suffer some from the Twilight Zone penalty of a pretty good twist ending being so utterly spoiled that it can't enjoy a virgin audience.
