Fairly tightly directed thriller that gradually becomes quite exciting. The role of
the little boy who likes to get lost in fantasies, often to the annoyance of his parents
also sometimes want to cause problems and who are already fed up with the hassles of everyday life.
Understandably, they don't want to believe him that he ultimately committed murder
observed, even though the boy persists in his observation. Am it completely
I agree with Baggerman that that one action is quite unbelievable or else very stupid.
However, it does provide a nice final section.
I first saw the comparison with Tiger Bay in the film. But it is total
otherwise. In Tiger Bay there is more of a warm interaction, while in this film
chased the child must flee from the man in order to survive.

Good film about a boy with a vivid imagination who witnesses a murder. A simple story, but well and tightly constructed (a nice, short playing time). It all seems quite believable. This is also thanks to the excellent role of the young Bobby Driscoll. Quite exciting here and there. Easily 3.5 stars.

excellent thriller in which a little boy witnesses a murder in his upstairs neighbor's apartment, but the problem is that no one, including his parents, believes him because he often makes up stories.
Bobby Driscoll plays the role of his young life and is very convincing as the little boy.
Furthermore, a number of exciting scenes and a well-constructed final plot.
