  • ""Critically acclaimed '40's film noir thriller. As a result of his fondness for telling tall tales, no one believes a small boy who claims he witnessed a brutal murder while sleeping out on a fire escape. No one, that is, but the killers. The murderers hatch a plan to silence the boy and nothing he tells his parents will convince them he's being hunted.""

  • "In this noir variant on the boy who cried wolf story, a young boy seeking relief from the heat of a New York summer by sleeping in the fire escape, witnesses a murder only to have no-one believe him. But the murderers realise that he knows the truth. A skillful blending of studio interiors and location exteriors captures the claustrophobic atmosphere of the crumbling tenement district, the location for the playing out of Woolrich's study in well-grounded paranoia."@en
  • "At the age of 9, Tommy Woodry 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, the Woodrys tell Tommy enough is enough. Then that hot summer night Tommy decides to sleep on the fire escape -- outside the Kellerton's 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."
  • "Tommy habitually tells tall tales and nobody believes him when he witnesses a murder through a tenement window."@en
