Summary: WRONG MAN RIGHT FILM!!
Review: Alfred Hitchcock again shows his mastery of the art of film making. "The Wrong Man" is done in a true documentary style..and Henry Fonda is so perfect he is scary.

With Fonda's superb low key style you will find he isnt acting at all.. he IS Manny Balestrero !. Fonda's inner rage is completely under control..and one wonders if it will ever explode..this fact sets up the tense drama to a breaking point.

The emotional breaking point is visited on his wife played by Vera Miles. The films plot has overtones of another film called " Call Northside 777" with the Police on one side and the rest of the characters on the other.

One of a kind film experience !

Summary: One of Hitchcock's Greatest Films!
Review: Just rented it and had to watch it three times. An amazing film! Where's the DVD version! This simple grim tale a man wrongly imprisoned for robbery and the heart-breaking subsequent mental breakdown of his wife will haunt you. I would argue that this film demonstrates Hitchcock's films in its purest form. No bird attacks or shriveled corpses here but then some of us who love Hitchcock's works believe they are really in the end about people and how they survive, or come to be trapped by, dire circumstances. Watch this movie along with "Vertigo," "Psycho," "The Birds," and "Marnie." Like "Psycho" and "The Birds," we see both physical and psychological imprisonment of the characters (or being caught in a kind of trap might be the relevant metaphor here) and like "Vertigo" and "Marnie," we see the overwhelming power of mental disturbance have on one's ability to control one's own life. I have found that it always helps to compare Hitchcock's films with each other as certain themes seem to occur over and over again, almost as if Hitchcock had some compusive fixation on it.

I would consider this film a great tragedy.

Summary: Frightening realism in top Hitchcock form.
Review: The only film Hitchcock ever made based on real-life events is a must-have for the avid Hitch fan like myself. The opening intro sets the eerie mood for the story of a wrong man accused of hold-ups. Henry Fonda stands out in the title role, being his only collaboration with the Master. The twists and turns that he endures seem too chilling to have actually happened but they did as the film brilliantly presents. Bernard Herrmann's score adds to the atmosphere of another man's guilt trying to conquer the innocence of another man. This is another genuine hit from THE Master of Suspense.

Summary: A Powerful, Epic Drama!
Review: THE WRONG MAN was an excellent film. I'll say that I had my doubts before I viewed the film cause I did have doubts. But, boy! was I suprised. henry fonda and Vera Miles are excellent in there roles! I liked this film because it was powerful and showed the scary side of being wrongfully accused. I recommend such film as NORTH BY NORTHWEST, STAGE FRIGHT and any other Hitch film if you like this one. A must see for anyone who wants a good drama, suspense, or just an all out good movie!

Summary: Intense suspense
Review: This is an extraordinary Hitchcock film. It's very powerful and very different. "The difference lies in the fact that this is a true story - every word of it"; a quote of Hitchcock's from the opening of the film. It is sad that a story like this is true and that it has happened, but it's part of what makes the film as powerful as it is. Another power-factor is the black and white cinematography , which lends a whole other mood, than if it had been shot in colour. Great acting, great directing. I'm very much looking forward to this film's being released on DVD, I'm surprised that it isn't available yet, considering how much of Hitchcock's work is.
