Hey Rich. Yet another under-rated Hitch film. In fact, I was just reading my
father's "1001 films to see before you die" (or whatever the exact title)
and The Wrong Man is listed in there to the exclusion of some other Hitch
films (like Saboteur, Lady Vanishes, Trouble with Harry - Now I'm thinking
Dial M might not have been there, but I could have missed it.
I think Henry Fonda did an excellent job. This film is very, very scary to
me, because it is so real. It's interesting to me, because I've always sort
of thought of it as a long AHP episode!
Best,
Steve
