Plaque Wording: The Wrong Man, 1956 - Hitchcock's bleakly realistic account of a real-life story has Henry Fonda as New York musician Christopher Emmanuel Ballestrero mistakenly identified by the police as an armed robber.
"When I was no more than six years of age, I did something my father considered worthy of reprimand. He sent me to the local police station with a note. The officer on duty read it and locked me in a jail cell for five minutes, saying, 'This is what we do to naughty boys.' I have, ever since, gone to any lengths to avoid arrest and confinement. To you young people my message is - Stay out of jail!" - Alfred Hitchcock
