Last year, a movie called Operator was released. Or perhaps it was just made on a dare and not distributed, as I had not heard of it until a few minutes before beginning this post. It is about a 911 operator with a confusing accent (Mischa Barton) who gets caught up in an explosive game of dumb cat and dumber mouse with a techie terrorist (Ving Rhames) who, I think, kidnapped her daughter who may or may not be Barton’s age? Look, I’m not sure what it’s about, really, I just know this production still exists:
But wait! The 2015 Operator isn’t the only movie called Operator that happens to be about a professional woman operator! The 2016 film Operator is about a hotel concierge (Mae Whitman) who gets recruited by her husband (Martin Starr) to provide the voice of some new automated phone operator for a healthcare company? I think?
