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.
Mel Dinelli adapted Cornell Woolrich story 'The Boy Cried Murder' which features fire escape sleeping, a heatwave and a witness to a murder, like 'Rear Window'.
Shot by William Steiner and Robert de Grasse, music by Roy Webb. RKO.
