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.

Kinematografen på Hitchcocks Notorious har altså regissert denne lille noir filmen. Den ser bra ut. Den er bra. Liker hovedrollen, og at det hele er vinklet fra og rundt et barn gjør det hele mer skummelt og spennende.

Really great film. Its adaptation of The Boy Who Cried World really worked with a mix of the Noir style that the film perfectly blends together. The final result is a witty and suspenseful experience that makes the most of its extremely brief runtime.
