Yes, it is. Hitchcock was intrigued by the real - life case of a man wrongly accused. He decided to bring this story to the screen to show the horror and injustice of such a situation.
The movie 'The Wrong Man' by Hitchcock is not based on a true story. It's a work of fiction crafted by Hitchcock's imagination and storytelling skills.
The central character is the man who is misidentified as a criminal. There may also be characters like his family members who are affected by this situation, and the people in the legal system involved in his case, such as the police officers and lawyers.
The fact that it's based on a true story makes it interesting. We get to see a real - life drama unfold in a fictionalized way. It makes us wonder how such a miscarriage of justice could happen and how the person coped with it.
Yes, it is wrong. Killing is an extreme act that violates basic human rights and the law, regardless of whether it is 'based on a true story' or not. Society is built on the principles of non - violence and respect for life.
