16mm black-and-white footage shot by Manfred Kirchheimer and Walter Hess in New York between 1958 and 1960, and 16mm color film from St. Clair Bourne in 1971, evoke different rhythms of life.
In this taut suspense thriller directed by Hitchcock-protégé Ted Tetzlaff, young Tommy (child star Bobby Driscoll, who received a special miniature Oscar for this role) has a bad habit of lying, which gets him in trouble when he claims to have seen a murder in a neighboring apartment. Realizing that he won't get any help from his parents (Hale and Kennedy) or the law, the boy must figure out a way to save himself from being shut up permanently by the murderers.
