Nice. I didn't realize until this movie how good an actress Shelly Winters was. The movie's theme is about guilt and forgiveness. Also, kudos to the director, who gets the message across in a most powerful way.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this movie on a Sunday afternoon.
I especially love husband and wife Better and Gary in this together.
Don't pass this one up -you'll love it.

About the only thing worth watching is the actors, especially the character actors. It's interesting how people aged 60 years ago, Bette Davis is only about 43 here but looks a lot older, even in the scenes where she's supposed to be older. Fails as drama but interesting as history. Everybody smokes all the time.

If you enjoyed the theme of "Phone Call from A Stranger", you should definitely read "The Bridge of San Luis Rey" by Thornton Wilder. Wilder's story is actually more powerful and I suspect that it was the inspiration for this script. I won't spoil it for you, just trust me and get the book.

I loved the way the story was unwoven at the end. Also it was interesting that at that time they made the clear observation which is still true today, women normally (not trying to be offensive guys) are quick to forgive and welcome back the man, whereas with men it rarely happens and without the constant reminder of the error. What an awesome film. I love my old black and whites!
