About this movie

Academy Award-winner Henry Fonda ("On Golden Pond") stars in this riveting drama based on a true story. When mild-mannered bass player Fonda is wrongly accused of robbery, his life is slowly destroyed. Vera Miles ("Psycho") is his wife, who starts to crack under the pressure. Based on the real case of nightclub musician "Manny" Balestrero and presented like a semi-documentary, this shattering and compelling tale from master-of-suspense Alfred Hitchcock keeps you on the edge of your seat!

A Hitchcock film that doesn't feel like a Hitchcock film. I don't mean that negatively. The acting in this is absolutely stellar. Henry Fonda leads the way and his melancholy performance clearly demonstrates why he's regarded as one of the great American actors- not just a screen personality.

Not one of Hitchcock's masterpieces but not bad. Vera Miles was awesome in this and it was probably one of her best performances.
