The Window (1949 Ted Tetzlaff)
Short, efficient thriller from Tetzlaff a couple of years after he shot Notorious for Hitchcock (his last as cinematographer). Bobby Driscoll is convincing as liar who is pursued by murderer Paul Stewart (a familiar face); parents Arthur Kennedy and Barbara Hale don't believe him.
