February 17, 2009one of hitchcocks more average films. it certainly wasnt bad, vera miles was beautiful in the film and fonda turned in a typically serviceable performance, but the story was slow and unengaging. this film would have been a full star better with better pacing and about 20 minute...( read more)

January 2, 2009atmospheric hitchcock. it's different from his usual style but it's rather good!!! not much of a script but mostly done with camera shots and facial expressions to tell the true story. i thought anthony quayle, henry fonda and vera miles all did very well. haunting piece of cinema!

December 14, 2008After sitting through The Wrong Man, it puzzles me greatly why this film isn't seen by more, or rated as highly as some of Alfred Hitchcock's masterpieces.

August 19, 2009Hitchcock's stark, humorless presentation of disturbing true events ranks among his most polished movies, but its execution is so subdued that a lot of people are inclined to overlook its mastery. Played out in a grim, documentary-esque fashion and acted with assurance by the ent...( read more)

August 4, 2009"An innocent man has nothing to fear, remember that."
This is a different kind of Hitchcock film, although it does follow a common Hitchcock theme: a man wrongly accused for a crime he didn't commit. Based on a true story, it's shot in black and white in a realistic, semi-do...( read more)
