Henry's role had been increased significantly from the radio play, and when Burt Lancaster heard his friend Hal Wallis describe it, he became interested. Wallis, however, thought that Lancaster was too forceful a screen presence to be believable as the spineless Henry and told him so. Instead, Wallis thought of Lee Bowman, an actor whose specialty was weak characters. Bowman, however, was unavailable for the role so Lancaster lobbied for it and told Wallis that audiences would be interested in watching him - a physically powerful man- get beaten down. "That's the whole idea," he told Wallis, "a strong-looking boy on the threshold of life allows a woman to buy him and then suffers for it, and all of his character has been drained out of him. And at the beginning of the film, they'll believe I'm strong, and the contrast will make for real dramatic excitement." Wallis gave in, and Lancaster got the role. Barbara Stanwyck received a Best Actress Academy Award nomination for her performance in Sorry, Wrong Number (1948) as an invalid who tries to call her husband at his office and accidentally overhears two men planning a murder on the telephone.
