THE WINDOW (1949)
While nosing around his apartment building, a highly creative boy – i.e., an inveterate liar (#BobbyDriscoll) – witnesses a murder.
But who'll believe him?
Definitely not his parents (#ArthurKennedy, #BarbaraHale).
But the murderer (#PaulStewart) does. And so does his sultry accomplice (#RuthRoman).
#TedTetzlaff's #thriller is 1 of the relatively few classics that fully deserves its reputation, especially during the climactic finale.

#RobertBlake (1933–2023)
The former #movie #ChildActor (The Treasure of the Sierra Madre with #HumphreyBogart) is best remembered for starring in the 1970s #TVseries #Baretta
His most notable big-screen role is that of the co-murderer (with #ScottWilson) who's sent to the gallows in #RichardBrooks' #InColdBlood (1967), from #TrumanCapote's novel, itself based on actual events.
In real life, Blake was acquitted (in 2005) of his wife Bonnie Lee Bakley's #2001 murder.
