NOIR CITY and the American Cinematheque are proud to present a new FNF restoration of this duo of suspense stories from the pen of Cornell Woolrich. The fabulous cinematography of Pablo Tabernero heightens to several masterful sequences of spine-tingling suspense. Critic Horacio Bernades declared, “Rarely as an Argentine film been more purely cinematic than this.”

THE WINDOW, Dir. Ted Tetzlaff, 73 Min, Park Circus, USA
Originally released May 21, 1949
The screen adaptation of Cornell Woolrich’s “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” is one of Hollywood’s classic suspense films. Ten-year old Bobby Driscoll is a chronic fibber — except after he witnesses a murder. Unfortunately, he can’t convince his parents (Barbara Hale and Arthur Kennedy) to believe him. Co-starring Ruth Roman and Paul Stewart as the sinister couple upstairs
