Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

bombersflyup Call Northside 777 is an engaging film-noir of a re-opened ten year old murder case.There isn't much to say about the film, it's just a good story told well, engaging from start to finish. I liked McNeal's home life, his wife Laura was very sweet, would of liked to have seen more of this.Tomek: Sure, I could say I did it. Then maybe have a chance of getting out, like you say. But if I confessed, who would I name as my partner, Joe Doakes? I couldn't make it stick for one minute. That's the trouble with being innocent. You don't know what really happened. I didn't do it. Me and Frank had nothin' to do with it.

ninabruzdzinski I absolutely love films like this one. I guess I know how predictable they are- someone is wrongfully convicted of a crime they did not do, a loved one tries with everything they have to prove that their loved one is in fact innocent, and true justice is eventually served. Even though it is so predictable, I still absolutely love watching the story unfold and gathering information for myself as I go. This film was no different, and again, I really did enjoy watching the story unfold as well as the truth come out. It is such a relieving feeling when the truth comes out, not only for those in the film but even for the audience too.

Hendy44 I enjoyed this movie however it seemed to have very poor acting and a moderately dry story line. The movie takes place in the new chicago. in a suburban area where there is a lot of crime. the story begins in a speakeasy. many police officers come in and out of this speakeasy and the owner knows them well however in this part of the city there has been too many cases of police officers being killed by people around this area. many conclusions were quickly found and a man spent 11 years in prison for it. in this movie the viewer will witness political corruption and and also a lot ways the press and newspaper can twist and change a story. at the end of the movie all evidence is brought forward and it shows that most statements were false throughout the movie.

AaronCapenBanner Henry Hathaway directed this film based on a true story about a wrongfully imprisoned man(played by Richard Conte) who was convicted of murdering a policeman in 1932. Eleven years later, his devoted and hard-working mother earned enough money to place a newspaper ad offering a reward to prove her son's innocence. This gets the attention of a big city newspaper editor(played by Lee. J. Cobb) who assigns reporter P.J. McNeal(played by James Stewart) to investigate. Though skeptical, he accepts the assignment, and is surprised to discover himself being convinced of his innocence, and becomes determined to have his conviction overturned. Fine docudrama-like film with solid performances, direction, and compelling story.
