The Window

US (1949): Drama/Film-Noir/Thriller

At the age of 9, Tommy Woodry (Bobby Driscoll) has a reputation for telling tall tales -- the latest one being that his family is moving from Manhattan to a ranch out west. When the landlord interrupts the Woodrys at dinner to show their about-to-be-vacated apartment, Tommy's parents (Arthur Kennedy and Barbara Hale) tell Tommy enough is enough. Then that hot summer night Tommy decides to sleep on the fire escape -- outside the Kellerton's (Paul Stewart and Ruth Roman) apartment, since it is a story higher and gets more breeze. Tommy sees the Kellertons kill a man. Tommy's parents and the police won't believe his story. But the Kellertons want to silence him. Ted Tetzlaff directs for RKO. (IMDb)
