One Phone Call You'd Never Want to Receive ***1/2
18 May 2006
Surviving a plane crash and then going on to meet the families of those who did not. What an intriguing idea! How morbid, to say the least; but yet this is a well-done film mostly because of a fine ensemble cast.

Shelley Winters is one of the passengers who did not make it. Following a difficult life and breakup, she is one of the passengers who interacted with the survivor.

What do you say to the families at a time like this? How does one feel? Why did they survive the crash and the others did not? We face serious questions of ethics and moral values in this film.

Surprisingly, Bette Davis took a supporting role in this film. She is quite effective as the bedridden wife of one of the victims. No matter how large or small the part, Miss Davis always could figure it out!
