The Window (1949)

Poster for The Window

Through the Window He Saw it...but no one would believe him...no one except the Killers!

An imaginative boy who frequently makes things up witnesses a murder, but can't get his parents or the police to believe him. The only people taking him seriously are the killers - who live upstairs, know that he saw what they did, and are out to permanently silence him.
