THE WRONG MAN

(1956, Alfred Hitchcock) Returning at dawn to Jackson Heights, Stork Club bass player Henry Fonda finds himself trapped in a classic mistaken-identity case. Shot in ruthlessly restrained semi-doc style on the locations of the actual case, with harrowing sequences of Fonda’s booking and arraignment, and memorable innocent-to-guilty dissolve. Approx. 105 min. 35mm.

“Has an almost Kafkaesque nightmare realism to it.”
