The Wrong Man (1956)

This is a Hitchcock film, but not one of his best.  Henry Fonda plays a man wrongly identified as a thief targeting local stores and offices.  He is almost sent to jail on faulty eye-witness testimony, his wife has a breakdown, he goes into massive debt to pay bail and hire an attorney.  It's a mess. 

And the movie is only so-so.  The pacing is off and there is not much tension.  I would pass.  Rent Rear Window again instead!
