September 1, 1948 –
Paramount released the Anatole Litvak noir classic, Sorry Wrong Number, starring Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster, opened on this date.
Barbara Stanwyck found that sustaining that level of emotion all week long and then going home on the weekend was a draining experience. “Five days I was handling it, starting the next day’s work where I’d picked up, sustaining it all, and then I had two whole days to relax and not to worry about the character, and I tell you it was strange,” said Stanwyck. “It was really hard to pump myself up on Monday morning to try to feel that desperate tension.“
