The film, a critical success that was shot on location in New York City, was produced by Frederic Ullman Jr. for $210,000 but earned much more, making it a box-office hit for RKO Pictures. The film was directed by Ted Tetzlaff, who worked as a cinematographer on over 100 films, including another successful suspense film, Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious (1946). For his performances in this film and in So Dear to My Heart, Bobby Driscoll was presented with a miniature Oscar statuette as the outstanding juvenile actor of 1949 at the 1950 Academy Awards ceremony. ## Credits - **Director:** [Ted Tetzlaff](https://cinepixo.com/people/ted-tetzlaff) - **Screenplay:** [Mel Dinelli](https://cinepixo.com/people/mel-dinelli) - **Original Music Composer:** [Roy Webb](https://cinepixo.com/people/roy-webb) - **Producer:** [Dore Schary](https://cinepixo.com/people/dore-schary) - **Director of Photography:** [Robert De Grasse](https://cinepixo.com/people/robert-de-grasse) - **Editor:** [Frederic Knudtson](https://cinepixo.com/people/frederic-knudtson) ## Cast - [Ruth Roman](https://cinepixo.com/people/ruth-roman) - [Anthony Ross](https://cinepixo.com/people/anthony-ross) - [James Nolan](https://cinepixo.com/people/james-nolan) - [Bobby Driscoll](https://cinepixo.com/people/bobby-driscoll) - [Richard Benedict](https://cinepixo.com/people/richard-benedict) - [Lee Phelps](https://cinepixo.com/people/lee-phelps) - [Barbara Hale](https://cinepixo.com/people/barbara-hale) - [Arthur Kennedy](https://cinepixo.com/people/arthur-kennedy) - [Paul Stewart](https://cinepixo.com/people/paul-stewart) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
