Little Fugitive

“Morris Engel's All-American Classic”

Brooklyn, one summer day in 1953, and seven-year-old Joey Norton (Richie Andrusco) is left behind while his mother is called away. His older brother Lennie (Richard Brewster) and his friends play a prank that makes Joey believe he has killed him, so Joey runs to Coney Island. Ray Ashley and Ruth Orkin set the two brothers against the clock, Lennie searching the crowds to find Joey before their mother gets home.
