No one except the killers!"; "You'll tremble with excitement as you feel the peril when not even the police will help this boy marked for murder... because nobody but the killers believes he was the only witness to the 'perfect crime'!"; "Daringly Filmed on New York's teeming East Side"; "It never lets you go"; "This peril-thrilled adventure in suspense... The terrifically taut story of a boy of too much imagination who was the only witness to a murder... Alone against the killers because nobody believed his story!"; "What holds this Boy fear-bound by the Window?"; "His parents called it imagination... The police said it was a nightmare...

His life is in danger!"; "He saw it happen... but no one would believe him!"; "Based on the novel by Cornell Woolrich"; this is one of the best "little" movies of the 1940s; a small boy witnesses a murder through a window in his neighbor's apartment, but no one believes him, except, of course, for the murderers!; in 1950 the source novel was also published as a comic book in Famous Authors Illustrated) starring Barbara Hale, Bobby Driscoll, Arthur Kennedy, Paul Stewart, and Ruth Roman. Note that the movie was filmed in 1947, but was shelved by then studio boss Howard Hughes (it would be released two years later). It is a real excellent "little" movie!

The poster had two extra horizontal folds, with many creases on the extra foldlines. It had a few stains scattered in the image and pinholes in the corners. It had a circular tear 2" to the right of the boy's hand. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
