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.
