Hitchcock

Just finished watching Alfred Hitchcock's "The Wrong Man".  It's a true story about a musician who is accused of a series of crimes and the way the trials effect his family.  Henry Fonda played the Manny, the main character.

I like Hitchcock films because they are suspenseful without being gory, scary without being overtly violent.  The suspense isn't "Will this person get his limb sawed off as well causing another blood bath?", it's "Will this innocent man live a life in prison and will his wife be OK?" or even "Will this music climax in time for the event that I think will happen to happen?".  I personally prefer the latter questions to the former.

I recommend this movie.  Even though it is one of the lesser known Hitchcocks, it is a good one.
