The Wrong Man

Henry Fonda    d/ A Hitchcock

The story of a good man falsely accused of a crime and the consequences that flowed from it.

Strong, sad story...nicely underplayed by HF. Vera Miles played his wife and went through many changes as the film unfolded. Taken from a true story but really one of the neurotic fixations Hitch suffered from and of which he spoke many times during his long career...his fear of policemen.

Usually considered a minor work by fans this still holds up well and shows many of the master's signature touches.
