Falso culpable (1956)
Manny es un músico de jazz que vive apaciblemente en Nueva York con su esposa Rose y sus dos hijos pequeños. En una aseguradora, una empleada lo confunde con un ladrón que había robado allí unos días antes y lo denuncia a la policía. Comienza entonces para él una angustiosa pesadilla: es detenido y acusado de una serie de hurtos perpetrados en el barrio. Lo terrible es que todos los testigos y las pruebas caligráficas corroboran su culpabilidad. Tras salir bajo fianza, intentará demostrar su inocencia. Mientras tanto, su esposa sufre una aguda crisis nerviosa y es internada en un psiquiátrico.
