5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERB, August 25, 2002
This review is from: The Window [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Long considered one of the finest "B" films ever made, this taut little thriller benefits from realistic settings and the acting of little (and ultimately tragic) Bobby Driscoll, Barbara Hale and Paul Stewart. Bobby Driscoll won an award for his playing of Tommy - who doesn't seem to know reality from fantasy. Tommy lives with his parents in a poor tenement section of New York; one hot night he has his mom's permission to sleep outside on the fire escape. Tommy is kept awake by adult commotion coming from inside an opened window of another apartment, where he eventually witnesses a man being stabbed to death by a pair of scissors...An ingenious variation of the "Little Boy Who Cried Wolf" theme, this taut little thriller builds up to an exciting climax which has the little guy ingeniously evade the murderers. Paul Stewart is chilling as he pursues Tommy and Ruth Roman does well as his equally cold-hearted wife. Barbara Hale is fine in a realistic portrayal of Tommy's mother; as the dad, Arthur Kennedy is merely okay. Three quarters of the film was shot on location in NYC & director Tetzlaff captures the atmosphere of dusty, derelict side streets and flyblown tenement exteriors. The climax, a chase at night across collapsing rooftops, is tense, well-composed and edited. Bobby Driscoll won a special juvenile award for his winning portrayal of Tommy. Sadly, in 1968, Driscoll was found dead of drug abuse - in a run-down abandoned tenement in NYC. Ironic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive Movie, December 24, 2001
By 
Charlotte Bell "Ma Bell" (Dallas, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Window [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This kid Bobby Driscoll is excellent. He steals the whole movie. There were a few "I can't believe this" in the movie. What a brave kid.
