Today, January 13, is National Blame Someone Else Day.
But, hey, don’t blame me - I didn’t name it.
Observe the occasion by passing gas in a crowded elevator and scowling at the person standing next to you.
Or, watch Alfred Hitchcock’s film, ‘The Wrong Man’ (1956). In a noirish, documentary-style change-of-pace for the Master, Hitchcock decided to film a story that actually happened, about a young jazz musician and family man who is falsely blamed for a crime committed by someone else. Shot in a calculated, cool, somber style, with none of Hitch’s usual passages of brevity, it’s one of his lesser-seen films. Henry Fonda stars as the hapless victim of mistaken identity. A chilling and still-too-relevant indictment of a ‘justice’ system gone awry.
Here's a link to watch the original trailer . . .
