The Wrong Man Alfred Hitchcock 1956 USA A married family man is mistook for a serial armed robber. Not Hitchcockian in the traditional sense - there are no set-pieces, it ends on a whimper, and Hitch's insistence on staying true to the real-life events makes for a non-dramatic narrative. Visually meticulous, though, and with a methodic, harrowing, Kafkaesque quality to it - kudos to Fonda's excellent performance - it might be the one film in which the director really tackles what might be (and is) termed as noir. Still, his appearance at the beginning of the film is annoyingly pretentious.
