COMMENTS
New Directors series; Allen Baron in person. Later released as Terror in the City.
OTHER
A terse, often emotional observation of a young boy who rushes away from his rural home into the jungle of New York City; unsentimental, poetic and as vivid as an O. Henry story. Second film.
—Albert Johnson
FACTOID #147
