The Wrong man 1957

Starring: Henry Fonda

A New York musician is mistaken by police for an armed bandit, and both witnesses and circumstances prevent the truth from emerging.

How one man's selfishness and lawlessness can destroy an innocent person's life and family. Hitchcock has the whole movie proceeding at a slow pace and yet manages to keep you engrossed throughout. One small quibble is I didn't think his introduction before the movie was necessary. Fonda and Vera Miles are both terrific conveying such emotion and yet constantly retaining their humility. Brilliant! 9/10
