Henry Fonda : Was good in some films, but Sucked in quite a few too.
Re: Was good in some films, but Sucked in quite a few too.
I disagree but your entitled.
A funny thing, Henry Fonda could have been the father of Elizabeth Taylor. He was only 27 when she was born.

The Wrong Man - Good story...but as for the lead, I couldn't agree more!
Sadly, I also agree. Great actor, wrong part. I just didn't "buy" him as a jazz musician, any more than I could accept the cultured Dana Andrews as a soda jerk in the excellent film, The Best Years of Our Lives...

You think he "stunk up" The Ox Bow Incident? Really? In addition to that being a basically perfect film, it's also one of Henry Fonda's best performances.
Re: Was good in some films, but Sucked in quite a few too.
I doubt that in Henry Fonda's life he encountered many people who used the term "sucked." Is that he best you can do?

However,
he also stunk up films such as
Jezebel - besides the lousy southern accent that comes and goes, he's hardly a man worth Bette Davis risking her life for
The Ox Bow Incident - Great movie in which Henry is the Weakest Link. I actually laughed when he pulled a gun on those poor ranchers--and other moments where he tried to act tough.
The Big Street - I enjoyed watching Lucille Ball treat him poorly because he was so annoying
Sex and the Single Girl He's so out of place in this comdey, it's pathetic.
Ash Wednesday - Looked like he could be Elizabeth Taylor's father even before her character undergoes yout 2000 h-enhancing cosmetic surgery!
