The Big Picture Alfred Hitchcock is a cinematic icon whose innovative techniques have transformed cinema forever. Whether it's the iconic "dolly zoom" shot in Vertigo or his groundbreaking definition of modern-day horror in Psycho, Hitchcock has earned his place in film history as a master storyteller. He is renowned for his suspense, a technique he believes emotionally engages viewers with the story on the screen.
Manny Balestrero, an ordinary, honest, and upright man struggling to make ends meet, faces yet another challenge when his stay-at-home wife, Rose, needs $300 for emergency dental expenses. Manny doesn't have that kind of money. He has been in debt before, and he confesses to Rose that it won't be different this time around. Rose feels that she is responsible for their woes, as their previous debts also resulted from situations surrounding her. But this time, it goes a notch higher.
Perhaps drawing from his childhood experience where he witnessed mob justice, Fonda's portrayal helps highlight how desperate Manny feels as everything seems to crumble right before his eyes. Even though Manny Balestrero is powerless and vulnerable, Hitchcock's directing keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.
