The Project moves on - maybe we'll actually finish this year!
Tonight's double feature was Hitchcock's remake of his own The Man Who Knew Too Much and The Wrong Man.
The first was a solid effort but not exceptional. I wonder if the director himself thought it better than the 1934 film. The second was very interesting and not much like his other films. It's low-key and based on a true story. The photography is rather noirish: black & white, shadows & light. It lacks Hitchcock's familiar trickery. Henry Fonda is very good as the wrongfully accused man. The master's frequent collaborators Robert Burks and Bernard Herrmann worked on both films.
Next up, Vertigo, finally. It's been a long time since I last saw it.
