If The Wrong Man hit the spot, these will too

Both are Alfred Hitchcock's work, and they rhyme
The difference: Leans harder into thriller than The Wrong Man does

The same preoccupation in both: black and white

Alfred Hitchcock directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: 27 years apart, and the 1920s show

One thread runs through both: black and white

Gritty crime in both cases
The difference: Easier on the stillness than The Wrong Man


Drama built on grit, twice over
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Both keep coming back to the same thing: robbery

Both lean on stillness more than on crime

Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases
