520    "Alfred Hitchcock is not often associated with a social 
       justice movement. But in 1956, the world's most famous 
       director focused his lens on an issue that cuts to the 
       heart of our criminal justice system: the risk of wrongful
       conviction. The result was THE WRONG MAN, a wrenching and 
       largely overlooked drama based on the real-life arrest of 
       Queens musician Christopher "Manny" Balestrero for two 
       robberies he did not commit. With documentary-like 
       authenticity, Hitchcock and his team meticulously re-
       created Manny's journey through the corridors of justice 
       and the devastating effect of the arrest on his wife, 
       Rose. In so doing, the director cast a damning light on 
       New York's history of mistaken identity cases. The 
       Balestreros fell victim to the same rush to judgment and 
       suggestive eyewitness identification procedures that had 
       doomed innocent defendants in earlier cases. Their ordeal 
       is part of a larger story of the state's failure to reckon
       with its role in other wrongful prosecutions in the first 
       half of the twentieth century. Attorney Jason Isralowitz 
       tells this story in a revelatory book that situates both 
       the Balestrero case and its cinematic counterpart in their
       historical context. Drawing from archival records, 
       Isralowitz delivers a gripping account of Manny's trial 
       and new insights into an errant prosecution. He then 
       examines how Hitchcock fused striking visual motifs with 
       social realism to create a timeless work of art. The film 
       bears witness to issues that animate the contemporary 
       innocence movement, including the unreliability of 
       eyewitness testimony, the need for police lineup reforms, 
       and the dangers of investigative "tunnel vision." Given 
       the hundreds of exonerations of the wrongfully convicted 
       in recent years, THE WRONG MAN remains as timely as ever."
