The Wrong Man came out just as Hitchcock was entering the most prolific stretch of his career, and while it is a quality picture, it can't quite match the heights of his greater works.
Manny Balestrero (Henry Fonda) is, you guessed it, falsely accused of robbing a group of men at gunpoint and finds his life falling apart as his defense attorney, Frank O’Connor (Anthony Quayle), attempts to clear his name. The Wrong Man came out just as Hitchcock was entering the most prolific stretch of his career, and while it is a quality picture, it can't quite match the heights of his greater works. However, The Wrong Man's greatest legacy might be the influence it had on the future of film, as it was apparently a massive influence on Martin Scorsese making a little film called Taxi Driver.
