No one can beat Jimmy Stewart!! He's simply Fantastic !!! Just love him!!
I did my english final on Jimmy Stewart. He was a true American. One interesting piece of trivia about him is he was a pilot and a war hero and barely made weight for the Air Force. He was also adamant about no publicity regarding his service.
getting into jimmy stewart lately, he really holds the attention of the viewer.
GOOD MOVIE, JAMES STEWART IS ALWAYS GOOD TO WATCH IN A MOVIE.
Pretty funny that the opening talks about how violent Chicago used to be. Seventy years after the movie, it's more violent than it's ever been.

You have to remember that this city was gripped by the mob specifically Al Capone though the the Irish mob was also active remember the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
All we would need is a couple of reporters and a newspaper that had enough guts to investigate those in power and inform the public about the truth. Yes, it would be a good world outside if people were brave enough to do what is right. One of Jimmy`s best movies. Thank you very much for uploading this gem :)
❤Thank you Chiller Theater for uploading this entertaining and suspenseful picture❣ This is the only picture wherein Richard Conte portrayed a nice gentleman. Usually Richard Conte pirtrays a disreputable character, such as when he costarred with Susan Hayward in, "I'll Cry Tomorrow." Conte portrayed a real genuine cad in, "I'll Cry Tomorrow," so much so, that i actually began to hate him. Good actor ~ he portrays a louse very well!
When I was a little girl I told my grandpa I was going to grow up and marry Jimmy Stewart 💕
I always loved watching this picture! I like the fact that it’s a true story. It’s unfortunate that our media or press, is no where as credible as they were in the pass.
Lee J. Cobb was excellent here, as he always was. E.G. Marshall also very good in a minor role. The two of them would team up 9 years later in “12 Angry Men”.
I watched this movie 20 years ago or probably more. I likes it then and I like it now. Jimmy Stewart is a great character and very likable in all his roles. Excellent.
I really like Jimmy Stewart! Most all of these old movies are new to me 😜
James Stewart. One of my most favourite actors. Thank you for this 👌 also great selection of movies!

Your attempt hiking the trail was cracking me up! Just thought you should know that there is a creature called a Spider Monkey if you run out of things to shreak over 😂
👍Terrific movie, based on a true story. Great acting and suspense on many turns. Worth watching 💯‼️
Superb.....Clear pronunciation .....Natural acting ...
Excellent movie in every way! I enjoyed the piecing together of the case, though some key pieces were missing. (A nice touch showing McNeil trying to put together a difficult jigsaw puzzle at home). Thanks and blessings for posting this gem of a movie! 🙏👏👍👍

THAT MAN WHO WENT TO PRISON WHO WAS INNOCENT HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN SOMETHING FOR BEING PUT IN PRISON WHEN HE IS INNOCENT. I CANT THINK OF THE NAME BUT HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAID MONEY OR GIVEN SOMETHING VERY NICE BECAUSE OF BEING WRONGLY ACCUSED OF MURDER. THATS MY OPINION.
Memorable film - superb acting by both Stewart and the supporting cast.
Nothing beats these old movies; they were the best. I didnt know until the very end what the surprise was. Amazing, and Jimmy, well, what can I say that everybody doesn't already know ?
The part that stuck out to me as a kid was seeing the photo transfer machine. Till then I didn't realize that tec dated back that far
Thank you for uploading this movie.
Jimmy Stewart can work on my case any time.

Truly is one of the best and so lucky there are a few Jimmy Stewart ones out there in this genre.
Will I be able to tune in on Saturday nights? I live outside the Pittsburgh market.
Dumb question maybe, but what about Frank's friend who was also in prison for the murder?

In looking up the actual case, it appears that Frank was released first, and Zeleska was released about 4 or 5 years later. In addition to the suit and $10, Frank ended up being compensated $24,000 and Zeleska $35,000 for the incarcerations.
Great film. Any chance of showing I am a fugitive from a chain gang. It’s based on a true story too.
SPOILER ALERT: I feel sorry for the second innocent man who seems to have been forgotten at the end of the movie. And BTW, a high powered microscope would have provided the necessary evidence and would have been a lot easier to arrange.

According to Wikipedia: " Both men were exonerated of the crime. The real killers have never been identified. " It's very odd that the movie makes have omitted such an important detail!
I was impressed with the clarity of the movie like it was made yesterday What I was disappointed that halfway through the synchronization of the dialogue matched with the synchronization of the actor's lip movement was out of sink I noticed that that happens in contemporary movies all the time now but back in the good old days this never happened So why is it that the audio is out of sync with the actors lips?

Frank received compensation in the amount of $24.000.

Story incomplete. What happened to the other guy, zeleska? . . . he said he didn't do it. Did he spend the rest of his life in jail?

He was also released and innocent, but the movie was really about Wieck, but both men were exonerated
WOW! That's all I have to say about this true depiction of the American Justice System! Put your FAITH in Jehovah! The the SOVEREIGN GOD of the whole Universe and all will turn out well for you. Because he will Never Forsake you no matter where you are? Wisdom dies not belong to Man, but only to him alone, and his Son, Christ Jesus, who can read the hearts of men. Thank you for sharing this gem. I hope this man had a wonderful life afterwards and his son grew up a better man. Love that one of my faves, Jimmy Stewart played the Reporter. Great job!
