The Window (1949)
8/10
A very good thriller.

I watched this film for the first time on BBC at 2 this morning and was very impressed. Some very fine acting by all the cast and and a good believable, terrifying story. Hollywood should have a good look at these old RKO movies and see how superior they are to the rubbish that is being dished out today. Bobby Driscol played an excellent role as the young boy and it was nice to see Arther Kennedy play a good guy. The black and white photography added to the suspense. Of course in latter years, there have been similar stories filmed, for example, Eye Witness with Mark Lester and Susan George and Witness with Harrison Ford. All very good in their own right. A must for fans of a good old fashioned thriller. Kevin Thomas.
