| | Posted: | | | | Must be getting old as I forget the name of a black and white film from around 1949/50 about a young boy who lives with his family in New York City ( Hell's kitchen/Bronx?) who witness's his neighbor murder a man and then hid the body in an adjacent building scheduled for demolition.
He tells his family but no one will believe him because he is always telling tall tales ...
Great little thriller but can't remember any of the cast therefore I can't put a name on this film ..
any help?? | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

| | Posted: | | | | Both "The Window" (1949) and "Rear Window" (1954) are from stories by Cornell Woolrich. The earlier film is about a boy who witnesses a murder and fits the plot points mentioned by the original poster. |

| | Posted: | | | | Rear Window starring James Stewart was not a young boy who told tall tales ..
But the premise has been used in dozens of movies of witnessing a murder thru a window ..through the years.-
the last I saw recently was Mr. Brooks starring Kevin Costner .. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.
