Description

🎬 The Wrong Man (1957) – Random Movie #1106

This week, we review The Wrong Man (1957), Alfred Hitchcock’s stark and haunting true-crime drama that trades suspenseful thrills for chilling realism. Henry Fonda stars as Manny Balestrero, a real-life musician wrongly accused of robbery, whose life spirals into a nightmare of mistaken identity and bureaucratic indifference. With its documentary-like approach and stark black-and-white cinematography, The Wrong Man is one of Hitchcock’s most understated yet powerful films, exploring the terrifying fragility of justice.

🎲 Picked from Metacritic’s all-time movie list—Is The Wrong Man a gripping tale of injustice or just the wrong Hitchcock to pick? Listen on to find out!
