One of the most interesting movies I've ever seen is The Slender Thread, 1965.
It features incredible acting from Anne Bancroft, Sidney Portier and Telly Savalas.
This is about a young psych student (Portier) who works at a suicide prevention center and
tries to save the life of a woman on the phone (Anne Bancroft). Most of the movie takes place on the phone
with flashbacks and developments until Portier pinpoints her location to save her.
Telly Savalas is terrific as a psychiatrist and Portier's boss. The best scene is with Savalas listening in on the phone,
but I couldn't find it. Here's another clip. Enjoy.
