Critic's review of The Wrong Man

- True but downbeat story from the headlines, filmed with remarkably little persuasion; not its director's métier despite evidence of his usual thoroughness.

  The Wrong Man
  
  Classic film as expected. Henry Fonda was brilliant as always. It is a very sad film and makes you rather upset but worth watching.
