The Wrong Man**
US 1956. Warner Bros. 105m. bw

A family man is mistaken for a serial burglar and spends a nightmarish time under arrest and on trial.
Soberly suspenseful Hitchcock documentary thriller, sluggish in its detail but with powerful moments, veering away slightly from its down-to-earth atmosphere when focusing on psycho-analysis.

Producer: Herbert Coleman.
Director: Alfred Hitchcock.
Starring: Henry Fonda, Vera Miles, Anthony Quayle, Harold J. Stone, Esther Minciotti, Nehemiah Perssoff, Richard Robbins.
