- Blooper(at around 4 mins) While running down the top flight of stairs to play with the neighbor boys, Tommy's breath is visible. His breath is visible again (at around 25 mins) while he is running to the police station, just after he runs past the canopy of 136th. This is due to shooting in the late Fall when the movie is set in the 94 degree heat of summer.
- Citazioni
[last lines]
Tommy: [Tommy and his parents are in the back of a police car on the way to the police station] And that's all the truth.
Police Officer: That was some jump, son.
Tommy: Yeah, but I know one thing. I'm never gonna be a fireman. I don't like jumpin' in those nets.
Ed Woodry: I'm proud of you, Tommy. And from now on, I promise I'll believe you.
Tommy: I'm glad, Pop. And from now on, I promise I'll never make up another story.
Mary Woodry: That'll make us all happy.
Ed Woodry: I'll bet when we get down to the station, a lot of guys are going to point at me and say, "There goes Tommy Woodry's father."
[Tommy smiles and his father chuckles over a shot of his son's beaming face]

His parents (Arthur Kennedy and Barbara Hale) warned him he must stop his fantasies and what followed was a classic up-dating of the boy who cried 'wolf' once too often
One stifling night, the boy climbed out on to a fire escape to seek cool air and, through a crack under a window blind, he witnessed a murder
He knew no one would believe him although this time, for the first time, his story was true He tried to tell his mother that he had seen a couple called Kellerson trying to rob a drunk and killing him in a fight: the boy got scolded for his imagination and sent to bed His father locked him in for punishment; the boy escaped and took his story to the police station. A detective investigated, but could find no body, no signs of a struggle
Now the awful irony: the guilty Kellersons learn through the detective that the boy had seen them committing the crime, and the boy's parents, with terrifyingly understandable logic, send the boy to the killers to apologize 'for spreading such an awful story about them'.
The Kellersons cannot decide: should they leave well alone, as nobody believes the boy; or should they commit another crime to cover the first?
'The Window' is a classic little second feature, entertaining and suspenseful; unfortunately it had few successful imitators
