    It is only recently that historians uncovered the total dishonesty of Speer at the war crimes trials. Nearly everything he told the court - his ignorance of Hitler’s war plans and his claimed ignorance of his crimes against the Jews - was a lie.

    Phone Call from a stranger was one of the top-most excellent films of the 50's. Mind you, there were quite a few like 'All about Eve' too. Terrific cast with Shelley Winters essaying her role with a nervous intensity that makes her stand out in startling shades. Bette Davis' character is bed-ridden, but even in her cameo, she gives the performance of a lifetime, recounting her past with a husband she has just lost in a plane-crash, playing back vignettes of their life together, the happy and the sad times, she introspects and relates with a tenacity that only one with her incomparable stature as an actor could deliver. A true tour-de-force in the acting department. A film not to be missed.
