The Next Voice You Hear... is a 1950 American drama film directed by William Wellman, produced by Dore Schary and starring James Whitmore and Nancy Davis. It is based on a short story of the same name written by George Sumner Albee that had been published in the August 1948 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine.
An exhaustive description of the making of the film is the subject of producer Dore Schary's book Case History of a Movie. The film is also discussed at length in Foster Hirsch's book Hollywood and the Movies of the Fifties, in which Hirsch writes that the film "attempts to close the gap between the daily and the divine".
